Natalia Porraz

My name is Natalia Porraz and I’m a first year graduate student at CU Boulder. I am an international student from Mexico and I received my BS Physics and Astrophysics from The Ohio State University (OSU) where I researched the temperature and metallicity gradients of the galactic winds of the galaxy NGC4945 using Chandra X-Ray data. My research interesest include galaxy formation and evolution. I am also a TA and I enjoy participating in public outreach and advocating for diversity. Outside of Astronomy, you can find my hiking, climbing or running!
