Seeing Invisible Circumstellar Structures – Dr. Jamie Lomax
Channel: Astronomy On Tap Seattle
Date: 2017-12-14

Dr. Jamie Lomax is a postdoc at the University of Washington where she uses uncommon observing methods like polarimetry to study circumstellar environments. While explaining mass loss from evolved massive stars is the primary focus of her work, she also often dabbles in trying to understand the morphological structures and compositions of protoplanetary and debris disks. Jamie is addicted to skiing, enjoys hiking, and hates the smell of coffee despite living in Seattle.

Each FREE Astronomy on Tap event features accessible, engaging science presentations on topics ranging from planets to black holes to the beginning of the Universe. Most events have games and prizes to test and reward your new-found knowledge! There is always lots of time to ask questions and interact with the presenters and other scientists who inevitably stick around for the beer.
