Interests
Research
Benjamin Weiner's research investigates the nature and evolution of star-forming and active galaxies from the present day back to half the age of the universe ago. His recent projects grow out of large redshift surveys combined with multi-wavelength data, including far-IR measurements from Spitzer and Herschel, to measure infrared luminosities and star formation rates, and optical spectroscopy to measure redshifts and make detailed analyses of galaxy properties.
