Premios y Distinciones

  •   Sagan Fellowship

    NATIONAL AERONAUTIC AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

    Estados Unidos, 2010

    The Sagan Fellowships support outstanding recent postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research that is broadly related to the science goals of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration program. The primary goal of missions within this program is to discover and characterize planetary systems and Earth-like planets around nearby stars.

  •   Spitzer Fellowship

    NATIONAL AERONAUTIC AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

    Estados Unidos, 2007

    The Spitzer Space Telescope Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (now a part of the Hubble Fellowship program) provided an opportunity for highly qualified recent postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research with the goal of enhancing the overall scientific return from the Spitzer mission. This was accomplished through proposals to conduct new Spitzer observations, exploit the Spitzer archive, or through theoretical investigations.

  •   Harrington Dissertation Fellowship

    UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN

    Estados Unidos, 2006

    The Harrington Dissertation Fellowship is the highest award that can be made to a continuing graduate student at The University of Texas at Austin.
