My name is Laurel and I am a graduate student in the physics program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I do observational astronomy research on galaxy clusters with Professor Michael McDonald.
I am originally from Syracuse, NY and I have a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from Syracuse University.

Gravitational waves
During my four years at Syracuse University, I conducted gravitational-wave research with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and the Syracuse University Gravitational Wave Research Group under Professors Peter Saulson and Duncan Brown.

I work as a mascot performer on MIT's Team TIM!
I liked to do all sorts of crafts, particularly knitting, crocheting, and sewing. I also love to hike with my rescue dog, Bodie.
