Catherine Manea

I’m Catherine, an Astronomy PhD Candidate at the University of Texas at Austin. I am an observer and a spectroscopist with particular interest in the Milky Way disk. As a stellar archaeologist, I use the chemical compositions of stars to answer fundamental questions about star formation, Galactic chemical evolution, stellar nucleosynthesis, and Galactic evolution. I am advised by Keith Hawkins.
