Faerber is a member of Prof. Loren Anderson's research group. He uses radio observations to study regions of active star-formation, called 'HII regions,' within the Milky Way. These observations are used to characterize the distribution, motion, and temperature of the gas, which gives insight into how stars form.

The internationally renowned 3MT competition, originally founded by the University of Queensland in Australia, challenges doctoral students to present their research and its significance in three minutes using a single PowerPoint slide. The WVU 3MT Grand Finale will be held on April 7 at 6:00 PM in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.
