Katherine Shulenberger (Wellesley College) was a visiting undergraduate from Wellesley College. Katherine Shulenberger did a summer research internship on CO diffusion in H2O ice (2013). She is now a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Colorado...
Olivia Wilkins (Dickinson College) was a visiting undergraduate from Dickinson College. Olivia Wilkins did a summer research internship on the abundance patterns of carbon chains in a sample of low-mass protostars (2014). She continued as a Fulbright...
Tom Leith (Harvard University) used SMA millimeter observations of a massive young stellar object to identify organic molecules and their distributions (2014). Tom is now a Medical Student at University of Michigan Medical School.
Rui Xu (Peking University) was a visiting undergraduate from Peking University. Rui Xu worked on developing a reduced chemical network for protoplanetary disks (2014-2015). After graduating from Princeton, Rui is a Software Engineer at X, the moonshot...
William Waalkes (University of Michigan) was a visiting undergraduate from the University of Michigan. William Waalkes was working with Dr. Guzman to determine the relative importance of gas an grain surface chemistry for simple organics such as H2CO in...
Corey Husic (Harvard University) used high-spatial resolution observations from the SMA to constrain the spatial origins of observed complex organic molecules toward a pair of nearby Solar-type protostars (2015). Corey Husic is now a graduate student...
Jodi Balfe (Harvard University) did her junior and senior theses in the astrochemistry group (2013-2015). Her senior thesis on the relative binding energies of N2 and CO on different water ices was awarded with both the Goldberg Prize (best astronomy...
Zoe Peeler (Wellesley College) was a visiting undergraduate from Wellesley College. Zoe Peeler determined the role of ice mixture compositions for the CO binding energy, and thus sublimation temperature in astrophysical environments. She was awarded an...
Chris Merchantz (Harvard University) worked first on theory of how snowlines evolve in protoplanetary disks due to an evolving chemistry, and then did his senior thesis on the H2CO emission morphology in the TW Hya disk (2014-2016). His work is presented...
Lauren Chambers (Yale University) worked with Ilse Cleeves and Karin Öberg on the theory of NH3 formation in protoplanetary disks, first as Banneker Institute fellow, and later for her senior thesis. She is a Banneker Institute alumna (2016). Lauren is...
