Science Communication

I practice communicating science in an accessible way through posters, presentations, and writing at any opportunity I have. Below you can find my contributions to communicating my results to the community. If you are interested in how I practice science communication with the general public, please click the outreach button below!

Conferences & Presentations

CRESST II Retreat

In May 2025, I gave a poster presentation on the results from BARBIE 4 which address the detectability of CO2, titled Using Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths in Coronagraphy Observation Simulations for CO2.

245th AAS

In January 2025, I gave an oral presentation on the results from BARBIE4 which addresses the detectability of CO2, titled Constraining the Long Wavelength Limit for the Habitable Worlds Observatory Coronagraph with BARBIE and KEN.

Exoplanets in our Backyward

In November 2024, I gave a poster presentation about how BARBIE works and the motivation behind it, titled Constraining the Wavelength and SNR Requirements for exoEarth Characterization with the Habitable Worlds Observatory with BARBIE.

HWO Face-2-Face

In October 2024, I gave a poster presentation on BARBIE and our preliminary conclusions about what we think the long-wavelength cut-off should be for the Habitable Worlds Observatory, titled Constraining the Long Wavelength Limit for the Habitable Worlds Observatory Coronagraph with BARBIE and KEN.

243rd AAS

In January 2024, I gave a poster presentation on my work on building a response model to calibrate spectra from the Gaia Photometric Science Alerts titled Unlocking the Long Term Potential for Spectral Temporal Astrophysics Studies with Gaia.

UW Summer Research Prize

In September 2023, I gave an oral presentation on my research that I did over the summer about building a response model to calibrate spectra from the Gaia Photometric Science Alerts.

UW AstroFest

In September 2023, I gave two oral presentations:

The first presentation was about my summer research with Gaia
The second presentation was about what solar telescope and equipment we were able to purchase as a result of winning a Student Technology Fee (STF) grant; a proposal which I led.

241st AAS

In January 2023, I gave an oral presentation on my research on analyzing the atmosphere on the lava planet, 55 Cancri e, called Hot Topic: A Low Pressure Atmosphere for Lava Planet 55 Cancri e.

Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics

In January 2023, I gave a poster presentation on my research analyzing the atmosphere of 55 Cancri e, titled A Hot Topic: A Tenuous Mineral Atmosphere for Lava Planet 55 Cancri e.
