This Month's
MGM Speaker
March 15, 2024
Total Eclipse of the Heart of Texas
This months speaker will be Dr. Lindsay
Fuller of the University of Texas San
Antonio Astronomy department. Her presentation,
Total Eclipse of the Heart of Texas, will
cover much information about the upcoming
April event—a total eclipse of the sun.
She will discuss not only the dynamics
of eclipses (i.e., some eclipse science), but
also how she is connecting the eclipses to
central and south Texas—how some of the
parks and school districts have partnered
with UTSA in the study of the eclipse.
Dr. Fuller is currently faculty at the
University of Texas at San Antonio where
she received her PhD in physics in 2017.
Her research focus is in observational data
analysis of the environments surrounding
super-massive black holes in distant
galaxies using infrared telescopes,
primarily the now decommissioned
airborne platform SOFIA (Stratospheric
Observatory for Infrared Astronomy).
She double majored in Physics and
Astronomy at UT Austin in 2012, where
she primarily studied laser science. Before
entering academia, Dr. Fuller was an
airborne cryptologic linguist in the
US Air Force.
