Josh Walawender is a staff astronomer at the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea. His research interests are in star formation where he studies protostellar outflows and star formation feedback — the process by which newborn stars regulate their own rate of formation. Josh has also been an avid amateur astronomer and telescope builder since childhood and still enjoys stargazing under the Big Island’s pristine night skies.
