Claire Geneser is graduating (today!) and lead my research group project on MICRONERVA. She is on her way to earn her PhD at Mississippi State University in the fall. Here she is giving a poster presentation at our college Undergraduate Research Day on April 21st:
Claire also decided to photobomb Ryan Hall standing with his poster at the Undergraduate Research Day. Ryan is finishing his junior year and will be applying to graduate schools in the fall. He taking over the MICRONERVA project from Claire.
Claire and Ryan would go on to give back-to-back talks the next day(!) at the NASA SpaceGrant Missouri meeting in Rolla, MO:
Two additional students joined my research group this year, and they also presented their posters at both the Undergrad Research Day and the Missouri SpaceGrant meeting. Frank Giddens is a CS major working on an altitude-azimuth sensor made from an arduino board:
Joe Huber is working with me on separating subgiants and giants using photometry only for improving the TESS mission target selection:
Finally, I wanted to highlight two students working with Dr. Reed in our department, on Transit Timing Variations of Kepler planets (Shannon Dulz) and the asteroseismology of sub-dwarf B stars (Laura Ketzer), seen in the photos below. Both Shannon and Laura will be seniors in the fall:
