We interview Dr. Nathan Deg, a Software developer for the Canadian Institute for Radio Astronomy:

• Resides at Queen’s University and comes from Nova Scotia but was born in Kingston
• focuses on numerical simulations of isolated and interacting pairs of galaxies
• Achieved a bachelor’s from Saint Mary’s University and Astrophysics
• And then a Masters and PhD in simulations of galaxies here at Queen’s
• Left Canada for a little while and worked in University of Cape Town in South Africa

Parts of the Milky Way:

• A Bulge
• A Bar
• A Disk
• Stellar Halo
• Dark Matter Halo
