Sasha N Campana

I currently work as a data analyst not in the field of astronomy, but am working towards getting into a Ph.D. program in Astrophysics! I am super interested in dwarf galaxies and black hole-galaxy co-evolution. My hobbies include knitting, skateboarding, and crafting. Outreach for underrepresented...
Zuzanna Kocjan

Department of Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park

Zuzanna Kocjan

As part of my PhD project, I am currently working on modelling the physics of interstellar medium using cosmological numerical simulations. My general interests are galaxy formation and evolution, studied using computational tools; I previously worked on gas accretion inside galaxies and its link...
Nicole Lloyd-Ronning

Computational Physics and Methods,

Nicole Lloyd-Ronning

 Nicole Lloyd-Ronning is an astrophysicist in the Computational Physics and Methods group at Los Alamos National Lab.  She models the multi-scale physics behind the bright, explosive deaths of very massive stars, the black holes they create, and uses these explosions as tools to learn about star...
Ou Zhang Labun

Physics, The University of Texas at Austin

Ou Zhang Labun

I am mostly interested in building phenomenology tools to connect the theoretical predictions with the experimental observables in high energy density physics.
Erin Cox

CIERA, Northwestern University

Erin Cox

I study the earliest phase of star and planet formation (i.e., Class 0 objects). I am interested in understanding the flow of material from the inner protostellar envelope onto the disk. I'm also interested in better understanding the formation pathways of binary star systems, and how this affects...

I don't currently do research, but I have a background in astrophysics and have worked in science museums and planetariums since 2011. I write live programs for planetarium presenters and also give shows on a weekly basis. I also host researchers and scientists to give lectures in our planetarium
Sheila Kannappan

Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Sheila Kannappan

My career has mixed diversity/equity/inclusion (DEI) and education/public outreach (EPO) work -- first through Teach For America 1991-1993, then at the department/university level as an astrophysicist -- with galaxy survey science since ~1997. I am excited about connecting large-scale structure to...
