Meet this month's speakers!

Speaker: Kelsey Lund

Kelsey Lund is a postdoc being hosted at the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the UW, and her research walks the line between nuclear physics and astrophysics. She completed her PhD working between the coastal plains on the East Coast at North Carolina State University and the high deserts of New Mexico at Los Alamos National Lab. She is interested in the synthesis of the heaviest elements as it occurs in the violent mergers of the remains of long-dead stars.

Speaker: Alex Riley

Alex makes a living comparing simulated galaxies to our Milky Way. In his free time he likes to read, cook vegan meals, and watch Dropout. He lives in Malmö with his wife and cat.
