Ellen M. Price

I am an astrophysics PhD who recently graduated from Harvard University. I joined University of Chicago's geophysical sciences department as a 51 Pegasi b Postdoctoral Fellow in September 2021. My supervisor is Prof. Fred Ciesla.

While at Harvard, I worked with Prof. Karin Öberg (CfA) and Prof. Ilse Cleeves (University of Virginia) on modeling protoplanetary disk chemistry and physics. I also worked with Prof. Leslie Rogers (University of Chicago) on rocky planet interior structure modeling. I completed my undergraduate work at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA, where I worked with Prof. John Johnson and Dr. Leslie Rogers on exoplanet statistics. I have presented my work at American Astronmical Society meetings, the Kepler Science Conference II, and the International Astronomical Union's Astrochemistry VII meeting.
