Senior🎓
Top SchoolEileen Gonzales is an Assistant Professor of Physics & Astronomy at San Francisco State University with a decade of experience studying the atmospheres of brown dwarfs, directly imaged exoplanets, and low-mass stars. Her research leverages atmospheric retrieval techniques—developed and applied during a postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell using the Brewster code base—to extract physical and chemical properties from challenging infrared observations. She combines active undergraduate and public teaching with mentoring experience spanning high school SRMP projects to university labs, emphasizing inquiry-based learning and curriculum redesign. Based in San Francisco, she bridges observational astrophysics and pedagogy, translating complex research into accessible education and outreach. An often-overlooked strength is her hands-on experience guiding long-term student research projects, which has helped cultivate the next generation of observational astronomers.
