Graduate student Cara Pesciotta has won the prestigious Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) fellowship. Cara’s research project, titled “Prebiotic Chemistry in Exoplanet Atmospheres: Composition and Detection of Hydrolyzed Hazes” will investigate the physical properties, composition, and optical constants of hydrolyzed hazes. Her work has implications for our understanding of astrobiology and atmospheric dynamics on exoplanets.
