“Breaking Through Exoplanetary Atmospheres”
July 21, 2016
DTM Weekly Seminar Series
Mercedes Lopez-Morales
Mercedes López-Morales, an astronomer at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, will give a talk titled “Breaking Through Exoplanetary Atmospheres” at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 21, 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
López-Morales received her Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After completing her Ph.D. she went on to become a postdoctoral fellow and a Hubble fellow at DTM. Her research focuses on the detection and characterization of exoplanet atmospheres as principal investigator of the ACCESS project and on the detection of Earth-like planets around other stars as co-investigator of HARPS-North.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
"A Re-appraisal of Crustal Structure in North America using Probabilistic Seismic Imaging"
July 28, 2016
DTM Weekly Seminar Series
Tolulope Olugboji
Tolulope Olugboji, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Maryland, College Park, will give a talk titled "A Re-appraisal of Crustal Structure in North America using Probabilistic Seismic Imaging" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 28, 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar series.
Olugboji received his Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from Yale University in 2014. He is an applied computational geoscientist, who synthesizes theoretical, observational (e.g., seismology and Bayesian computational methods) and experimental evidence (e.g. mineral physics and geochemistry). Olugboji seeks to improve our understanding of the chemical composition and physical behavior of the solid earth.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
