Dominic Oddo
Graduate student Dominic Oddo won a 3 year, $150,000 NASA Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) Astrophysics grant.
Unlike for other NASA grants, the student participant defines the FINESST project and is the primary author of the research proposal. The selection rate for these awards is just 10%.
As a NASA Future Investigator and a member of Diana Dragomir's research group, Dominic will search for planets orbiting pairs of stars (circumbinary planets) using TESS observations.
Congratulations Dominic!
