My name is Mirielle Caradonna, and I am a first-year graduate student at The University of Colorado, Boulder. I am broadly interested in the field of exoplanets, specifically using observational data to discover exoplanets, and to uncover their characteristics. I am also broadly interested in planetary atmospheres, and the relationship between our Sun and the solar system. I attended The University of North Texas for my undergraduate degree, where I was able to conduct research in exoplanet detection using ground-based transit photometry, as well as reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei and a computational study of galaxy formation and evolution.
