Tomo Stewart

I remember watching Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Cosmos” series as a child, which greatly intrigued me. After this, I read every book I could get my hands on regarding astrophysics and the fundamentals of our universe.

I plan on attending graduate school, receiving my Ph.D. in observational cosmology, and becoming a professor.

I’m working with the Large Millimeter Telescope/TolTEC camera, where we’ve observed the Serpens South molecular clump. In Serpens South, I’m finding stellar cores and analyzing their properties to better our understanding of star formation.

Receiving this scholarship award means I will be able to continue and finish my undergraduate degree without burdening my parents and myself with student loans.
