About

Welcome visitor! I am a 6th year PhD candidate at UC Santa Cruz working my way towards becoming la Profe Hermosillo Ruiz :'). My goal is for you to learn about my research and my passions through this page. I will be updating all sections over time. I have added resources that helped me get to grad school and hope they can be helpful for others. I'm a first generation student getting my PhD, and I'd like for others from similar backgrounds to know they can achieve great things against all odds.

Previous and Current Research

ORCiD , ADS

I currently study the orbital dynamics and evolution of our solar system via the Kuiper Belt. I'm also investigating how interactions between an inclined, eccentric planet and its debris disk affect the disk structure. I am interested in all dynamics processes that shape and evolve planetary systems and debris disks.

Current Research Projects

  • Impact of stochastic migration on weak resonances in the kuiper belt (talk)
  • Constraints on Planetary Migration that Explain Structure in the Kuiper Belt (poster)



    • Undergraduate Research Projects

  • b-Jet and c-Jet Identification at LHCb Using Deep Learning Techniques (poster)
  • Identifying M Dwarfs and their Stellar Companions (talk)
  • Thermalization effects in late-time Type Ia Supernova light curves (poster)

    • Resources :)

    Here are a few resources that I used when preparing for GRE, NSFGRFP, and applying to PhD programs in Astronomy in the United States.

  • A presentation I made: How to Apply to Graduate School
  • Two spreadsheets: a check off sheet for grad school applications and a sheet I sent to my letter writes
  • GRE requirements and admission fees for US astro and physics programs
  • Alex Lang's website helped me prepare for the NSFGRFP application process

    • Photography

    I have loved taking pictures as long as I can remember. My disposable cameras saw many trees, rivers, friends, and blurry moon phases. Follow my photography instagram account @bylaarcy7 > (read: by la arcy 7) to see more.
