Nachiket, a rising senior at University of Texas at Austin, is working with Shubham Kanodia on Solving the Metallicity Mystery for M-dwarfs. He is using new techniques and analysis tools to analyze high-resolution spectra of the most common type of stars in the Galaxy—M-dwarfs—to estimate their properties, particularly their metallicity, i.e., their composition.
