Summary
Gabrielle Suissa is a PhD student and NSF Graduate Fellow in Astronomy and Astrobiology at the University of Washington with eight years of research experience probing exoplanets and biosignatures. She combines strong data analysis and Python skills with hands-on expertise in GCM-driven radiative transfer, producing first-author work during a postbaccalaureate stint at NASA Goddard. A Columbia Astrophysics BA and former leader of undergraduate astronomy organizations, she builds community while releasing research-grade tools (e.g., the HARDCORE code for exoplanet interior constraints). Her work spans theory, modeling, and observation-focused exposure-time calculations, uniquely positioning her to translate complex simulations into telescope-ready predictions.
