PHD student... working on measuring the magnetic field in clouds that are really really far away! Astronomically far away! This is to understand and observe star formation.

I don't see myself staying in academia though I love research.

Yo! Zeeman splitting or faraday rotation?

Fancier! Goldreich-Kylafis of molecular lines (which you can do with weakly zeeman splitting molecules) and anisotropic resonant scattering (houde et al. 2013, 2014 etc.)

That does sound fancy indeed
