Isabel N Angelo

Graduate Student, Physics & Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles

Isabel N Angelo

I study extrasolar planet compositions and systems architectures to learn about how planets form and evolve. For my research, I combine observational and theoretical tools such as radial velocities and dynamical simulations to uncover exoplanet evolution and formation histories.
Zoya Vallari

Postdoc, PMA Division, California Institute of Technology

Zoya Vallari

Neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles from which the universe is built. They are highly elusive as they only interact via the weak force. Neutrinos come in three flavors and oscillate from one kind to another depending on their energy and the distance traveled. The flagship US experiments...
Samantha Trumbo

Postdoc, Cornell University

Samantha Trumbo

I am a 51 Pegasi b postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University. My work focuses on building a deeper understanding of the dynamic and diverse moons within of our solar system by characterizing the chemical and physical processes underlying their unique environments. I am particularly interested in...
Paola Testa

Researcher, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

Paola Testa

I am an Astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. I received my doctorate in Physics at the University of Palermo (Italy) on the topic of coronal activity in the Sun and other stars. After my graduate studies I held a post-doctoral...
Jennifer Pursley

Assistant Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, Harvard University

Jennifer Pursley

I received my PhD in experimental particle physics working on the Collider Detector at Fermilab on B-baryon searches and high-mass Higgs searches. Then I switched to medical physics and did a residency program in Radiation Oncology physics. Now I'm an academic clinical physicist at Massachusetts...

Instructor at Vanguard College Prep School and Researcher at Skidmore College, Math & Science, Skidmore College

Sarah Porten Miller

My name is Sarah Miller, I am 22 years old and have just graduated from Skidmore College after double-majoring in Physics and Math. While at Skidmore, I studied Active Galactic Nuclei with my professor, and conducted research with her in which we used computer programs to model the AGN using their...
Pupa Gilbert

Professor, Physics, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Pupa Gilbert

Born, raised, educated in Rome, Italy, I came to the US in 1999 as a full professor. I won awards, got grants, built instruments, got terrific results on all how biominerals, that is, crystalline materials, are built by living organisms for their evolutionary advantage.
Anna A Kwiatkowski

Research Faculty, TITAN group, TRIUMF
