A&A undergraduate and Brooke Owens Fellow
Senna Keesing possesses a diverse range of research interests spanning particle physics, submarine navigation, and, of course, aerospace engineering. Her research in the UW Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) focuses on detecting a hypothetical particle that could explain dark matter. Her well-rounded education of the cosmos will serve her well for future work on planetary probes and deep space missions.
Senna Keesing joins the latest class of "Brookies" and will intern with Vast Space this summer.
