Sarah Blunt

Graduate Student, California Institute of Technology

Sarah Blunt

I'm primarily working in two research areas: 1) the orbits (and particularly eccentricities) of giant exoplanets, and 2) stellar variability and its implications for our understanding of young planetary systems. My interests also include high-resolution spectroscopy, searching for reflected-light...
Krista Lynne Smith

Assistant Professor, Physics, Southern Methodist University

Krista Lynne Smith

I am an observational astrophysicist studying the behavior of energy and matter around supermassive black holes, the formation and physics of jets ejected by black holes, and the effect of active galactic nuclei on star formation and galaxy evolution. I use a wide range of instruments, on the...
Amy Steele

Postdoc, McGill University

Amy Steele

Motivated to discover the true compositions of circumstellar material (planets, debris disks, etc.) and using observations and modeling of white dwarf stars polluted by remnant circumstellar material to do it.
Dawn M Gelino

Deputy Director; NASA Program Manager, NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, California Institute of Technology

Dawn M Gelino

Dr. Dawn Gelino is the Deputy Director of the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute located at Caltech. She is also a lead for the NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) and for NASA's Nexus for Exoplanetary System Science (NExSS) research coordination network.  Dawn serves as the NASA Keck Operations...
Alice Jacques

Alice Jacques

I am a data analyst at NOIRLab’s Astro Data Lab. I work on adding new datasets to our database and am currently developing a spectroscopic analysis tool called SPARCL.
Nicole Marie Rider

Graduate Student, Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Nicole Marie Rider

Hi, I’m Nikki! I am a Physics PhD student at the University of North Carolina. My research focus is computational hydrodynamics in astrophysics. I use Athena++, a C++ based magnetohydrodynamic code, to produce numerical simulations of the formation of hydrogen clouds in the Milky Way.
Sabrina Stierwalt

Assistant Professor, Physics, Occidental College

Sabrina Stierwalt

I am an observational astrophysicist who researches the internal and environmental processes driving star formation in nearby galaxies. I use multi-wavelength observations from the X-ray to the radio to understand how gas is converted into stars, particularly in the low metallicity environments of...
Ellie Lincoln

Graduate Student, Astronomy, Georgia State University

Ellie Lincoln

I'm a grad student at GSU with a focus on experimental observations and software development for speckle imaging. My current research uses various speckle imaging techniques to directly image high-order multiple star systems to look for previously unresolved companions, since improvements to...

Cyprus Van Inwegen

I am the Advancement Communications Specialist for NRAO, and I love sharing astronomy with the public. My focus right now is developing a new visitor communications plan for the Very Large Array in New Mexico to maximize public engagement and build a community around our visitors to help support...
Katherine Follette

Assistant Professor, Physics and Astronomy, Amherst College

Katherine Follette

I am an observational astronomer working to understand the physics of planet formation and growth. I use ground and space-based high-contrast imaging techniques to find and characterize young (proto)planets and brown dwarfs. This involves both studying them directly, and observing them indirectly...
