Leah Albrow
I am a first-year graduate student working with Dr. Richard Teague in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.My research interests include planetary formation, protoplanetary disks, astrophysical fluid dynamics, and interstellar objects. I am particularly interested in using computational modeling and machine learning methods, combined with interferometric data, to improve our understanding of these phenomena.
Before attending MIT, I completed my Bachelor’s and Honours degrees at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. In my final year, I worked with Dr. Michele Bannister studying the ejection mechanisms of interstellar objects. During my undergraduate summers, I conducted research at Curtin University, the Australian National University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and CERN.
