Alina Kononov

Postdoc, Center for Computing Research, Sandia National Laboratories

Alina Kononov

For her doctoral research, Alina Kononov worked on first-principles modeling of ion-irradiated surfaces and 2D materials. Her contributions enabled predictive calculations of ion-induced electron emission, uncovered new surface physics, and offered insights for ion beam materials imaging and...
Shelley Jia Cheng

Graduate Student, Department of Astronomy, Harvard University

Shelley Jia Cheng

I am interested in a broad range of topics relating to stars and AGN accretion disks, including stellar theory, black hole accretion disk simulations, asteroseismology, and triple-body stellar dynamics. My current work focuses on the evolution of massive stars embedded within AGN accretion disks.
