About Natalia
I currently work at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research on the NASA TESS mission. I manage the team that identifies potential exoplanets among the hundreds of thousands of stars in the TESS images. I studied physics and creative writing at MIT and graduated in 2014.
In addition to planet-hunting, I write pieces for theater and radio and make multi-media art inspired by my experiences in astronomy and particle physics. I am always searching for new ways to pursue my artistic and scientific interests in parallel.
