Natalia Guerrerocazaplanetas/planet-hunter
I am an astronomer, artist, and science communicator. I study exoplanets as a doctoral student in the Ballard research group at the University of Florida and create installation and performance art as a student in the UF Studio Art MFA program.
Previously, I worked at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research on the NASA TESS mission in the roles of TESS Objects of Interest (TOI) Manager and MIT-TESS Communications Lead. I managed the team that identifies potential exoplanets among the hundreds of thousands of stars in the TESS images. I studied physics and creative writing at MIT and graduated in 2014. |
