Brooke Hursh

Bio

I am advised by Dr. Warren and working on my PhD in Space Sciences at the intersection of astrophysics, astrobiology, and planetary sciences. Specifically, the effects of Gamma-Ray Bursts on habitability, with a focus on filling in the gaps of the current literature: afterglows and off-axis bursts.

I received my BS in Astronomy and Astrophysics here at Florida Institute of Technology in 2023. In addition to my research, I am passionate about science communication, particularly encouraging younger generations to pursue interests in science and engineering.
