Profiles in "Astronomy" Expertise Area

  • Borthakur is an observational astronomer specializing in extragalactic astronomy. Her research focuses on understanding how galaxies exchange matter and energy from their surroundings and grow via such processes.
  • Baumgart is a professor of physics with an interest in state of the art field theory, dark matter annihilation.
  • Justin studies astrophysics at the School of Earth and Space Exploration, investigating direct imaging of debris disks and substellar companions around other stars.
  • Austin is an Astrophysics PhD candidate in the School of Earth and Space Exploration. Their research uses stellar evolution models and habitable zone models to study the evolution of the habitable zone for stars with potentially habitable exoplanets.
  • Grace Beall is a graduate student in the School of Earth and Space Exploration researching science education.
  • Padave is an observational astronomer studying the growth of galaxy disks. She focuses on star formation in the outer disks of galaxies and utilizes UV, optical, H-alpha, and IR photometric & spectroscopic data.
  • I am currently primarily working with Dr. Paul Scowen on payload assembly, integration, and testing (AIT) for the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) mission payload.
  • Noble is an observational astronomer specializing in galaxy evolution and formation. Her research focuses on the interplay of stars, gas, and dust in galaxies when the Universe was 4 billion years old.
  • Kyle is an Astrophysics PhD candidate at SESE specializing in radio astronomy instruments and extragalactic astronomy.
  • Astronomer and planetary scientist working on the formation and evolution of planetary systems. SESE Exploration Fellow
