NSF Fellowship Research Program:

Stellar Signatures: The Impacts of Stellar Activity on Exoplanet Transit Transmission Observations

Research Interests:

Tovar Mendoza studies the relationship between exoplanets and their host stars. Specifically, she uses space-based observations to study stellar magnetic activity on low mass stars and its impacts on the ability to both detect and characterize exoplanets.”

Education and Outreach Interests:

For the broader impacts component of the NSF, Tovar Mendoza will partner with an existing prison teaching initiative to develop hands-on STEM lab activities and provide weekly tutoring and mentorship to incarcerated youth and adults.
