SUMMARY:Astroseminar - Brandon Coy
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:\"Towards Population-level Exo-Geology: Characterizing the Surf
 aces\,\nAtmospheres\, and Reflective Properties of Hot Rocky Exoplanets\"\
 n\nBrandon Park Coy is a final year PhD student at the University of\nChic
 ago’s Department of the Geophysical Sciences.  His research\nmainly foc
 uses on observations and modelling of small exoplanets’\natmospheres and
  surfaces with a focus on ‘exo-geology'.  He is\ninterested in determin
 ing what observations of rocky exoplanets'\nsurfaces can tell us about the
  geologic history of planets orbiting\nother stars.

SUMMARY:Astroseminar - Chloe Cheng
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chloe Cheng is a Research Excellence Postdoctoral Fellow at
  the\nUniversity of Toronto.  Her research focuses on understanding gala
 xy\nformation and evolution across a range of physical scales. She uses\n
 spectroscopy and full-spectrum stellar population modelling to\ncharacteri
 ze the stellar initial mass function (IMF)\, elemental\nabundances\, and f
 ormation histories of galaxies\, with much of her\nrecent work focused on
  massive\, quiescent galaxies at cosmic noon.

 Baita\nFriedman-Shaw)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Despite its cosmic focus\, this month’s KPL Astronomy talk wi
 ll be a\ndown-to-earth\, cartoon-filled presentation about something calle
 d dark\nenergy. Batia Friedman-Shaw will walk us through this mysterious\
 ntopic\, asking “What exactly _IS _dark energy?”\, discussing the\
 nsurprises that scientists face when trying to measure it\, and finally\ne
 xploring some of the latest ideas for explaining these surprising\nmeasure
 ments.

 bout how\nwe can study these elusive parts of space. Alice Chenwill give a
  brief\nhistory of our Universe\, and its components like _dark matter_ an
 d\n_dark energy_. Then\, Ethan Smith will speak about _dark sirens_ --\nsi
 gnals produced by colliding black holes in the distant Universe.

SUMMARY:Astroseminar - Emily Pass
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:\"The Stellar Recipe for an Earth-like Planet\"\n\nEmily Pass i
 s an observational astronomer who studies exoplanets and\nsmall stars. Her
  research seeks to uncover how stellar diversity\nsculpts planet populatio
 ns\, with the ultimate goal of determining the\nstellar conditions necessa
 ry for habitable worlds. In recognition of\nthis work\, she was named one 
 of Forbes 30 under 30 for 2026. As a PhD\nstudent at Harvard University\, 
 she was also a Peirce Fellow and NSERC\nPostgraduate Scholar\, and her the
 sis was awarded the 2024 Fireman\nPrize. She is currently a Juan Carlos To
 rres Postdoctoral Fellow at\nthe MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and 
 Space Research\, but will\nsoon be moving to the Université de Montréal 
 as an assistant\nprofessor.
