Space Sciences/Astrophysics Seminar with Melodie Kao

Kao studies exo-aurorae and characterizes the magnetospheres of very cold brown dwarfs to both gain insight into exoplanet magnetism and learn how magnetism evolves in the mass regime that bridges planets and stars. She received her PhD in 2017 at the California Institute of Technology and held a 2017 Grote Reber Pre-Doctoral Fellowship at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Socorro, NM.

Sponsored by the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences.
