Lara Arielle Phillips, is a graduate of McGill University (BSc, Honours Physics) and Princeton University (PhD), an NSBP Fellow, and faculty in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame. She adapted medical physics tools to peer into the filaments, voids, and clusters of the cosmic web. Her team developed the EDGE computational framework to understand how environment impacts the evolution of galaxies and their associated CGM and study the nucleosynthesis enrichment of the cosmic web in standard and alternate cosmologies. She is a co-producer of an art + science collaboration and helps lead a liberal arts college in prison.
