As a Postdoctoral Fellow, Michelle Brann conducts laboratory experiments to understand abundances and formation pathways of complex organic molecules in interstellar ice analogs during planet formation. Previously she was a NRC postdoc at National...
Alice Booth is a Clay Fellow whose research revolves around unravelling the chemical makeup of planet-forming disks. Alice uses high-sensitivity observations taken with ALMA to map the distribution of different molecular species in nearby disks. Their...
Jenny Calahan is a Kavli-Laukien Origins Fellow working on linking exoplanets to their formation environments. She uses 2D thermo-chemical models to characterize protoplanetary disk environments in concert with the highest quality observations from ALMA...
Julia Santos is a 51 Pegasi b Fellow who studies the chemical makeup of
planet-forming regions. She uses vacuum cryogenic setups to recreate the
chemistry occurring on interstellar icy dust grains and employs
submillimeter and infrared observations to...
Dr. Piacentino received her PhD in physical and analytical chemistry at Northern Illinois University. She previously worked on the computational and mass spectrometric study of the fundamental properties of transition metal-based molecules as well as on...
