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 am a graduate student matriculating in 2023 at Department of Astronomy, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. My research mainly focus on RV precision estimation of a under-design high-resolution spectrograph named CHORUS, which will be installed on GTC in 2027. My research insterest is planet...
Simona Mei

APC/IN2P3,

Simona Mei

Professor at Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.
Mary Holt

Planetarium,

Mary Holt

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...
