Maren is participating in both pulsar timing projects and pulsar search surveys. She plans to continue her academic journey through undergrad to earn a masters degree and PhD in astrophysics. Ultimately, she hopes to devote her career to astrophysical research in either radio astronomy or exoplanet habitability. Her favorite thing about the REU summer is the weekend adventures with the group.
