is currently a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow in residence at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, where she is working on deep extragalactic imaging using data from the VLA Low-band Ionospheric and Transient Experiment (VLITE). Her research interests encompass a wide range of topics related to the formation and evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes. She has over a decade of experience working with data from radio telescopes around the world, including the VLA, VLBA, and ALMA, and has been actively involved in developing the ngVLA science case. Kristina obtained her PhD in 2015 from New Mexico Tech, where she collaborated with staff at the NRAO in Socorro, NM and led the VLA imaging programs for the ATLAS-3D survey. Previously, Kristina held postdoctoral positions at the NRAO in Charlottesville, VA and at ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
	Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
	The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
	AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
