Ellie White

• Ellie White is a second-year physics major at Marshall University. Her goal is to pursue a PhD in astrophysics and work toward a career as a radio astronomer. She is co-director of a program called Open Source Radio Telescopes, which aims to introduce students to STEM topics by providing open-source software and instructions on how to build simple radio telescopes for citizen science. She recently worked on developing an instrument to collect data for machine-learning training sets which will facilitate research into the cosmological Dark Ages of the universe's early history under the advisement of Dr. Rich Bradley (NRAO), and she is currently working with Green Bank Observatory scientists to analyze the pointing model for the Green Bank Telescope. She is particularly fascinated by the fields of SETI and astrobiology, and enjoys communicating her love of science with others and interacting with students.

Belinda Cheeseboro

• Belinda Cheeseboro is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at West Virginia University. Her recent project is developing a search pipeline to search for eccentric sources in NANOGrav data. She also works as one of the graduate assistants for the WVU planetarium.

Natalia Lewandowska

Natalia Lewandowska is a postdoctoral fellow at West Virginia University (WVU) working on the anomalous emission from pulsars. She got her PhD at the University of Wuerzburg in Germany in 2015. The focus of her PhD thesis was on a correlation study of radio giant pulses and very high energy photons from the Crab pulsar. Always interested in the functionality of (radio) telescopes, Natalia went for her first postdoc to the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. During that time she also joined the NICER Collaboration. NICER (in short for "Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR") is a instrument mounted on the International Space Station which was constructed specifically for the observations of neutron stars at soft X-rays. With NICER Natalia is searching for correlations of the observed anomalous radio emission at X-rays. With a passion for outreach Natalia joined the Pulsar Search Collaboratory (PSC) project as an instructor during her time in Green Bank. As a postdoctoral fellow at WVU she became a PSC staff member and is actively involved in the training of middle and high school students as the current PSC project director. In her free time Natalia enjoys exploring nature with her camera and observe the night sky with her telescope.
