2026 CASSI Symposium
Using data from Carnegie's telescopes or state-of-the-art simulations, students will have the chance to work on topics such as exoplanets, early galaxies, black holes, and dark matter. Students also focus on engineering projects, improving the scientific instruments on our telescopes.
