We are also thrilled to host our first astrophysicist:

Dr. Elisa Quintana is a Research Scientist with the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center where she works on the Kepler and K2 Missions to help search for and characterize extrasolar planets. In 2014 she led a team of astronomers to confirm Kepler-186f, the first Earth-sized planet found to orbit within the habitable zone of another star. Her research also includes creating computer models to study the formation, dynamical stability and habitability of rocky planets within and beyond our solar system.
