Maggie McAdam


School: Mount Holyoke College

Major: Astronomy

About me: I am going into my senior year at MHC. I am studying Astronomy and Physics. I am interested in studying planetary science or heliophysics in graduate school. I love to travel. My most recent adventure has been to Australia. I am also interested in photography, fencing and music. Next year I will be a Student Advisor, working with Residential life office as well as the President of Mount Holyoke Chorale—one of our many wonderful singing groups on campus. I am an avid Red Sox fan as well as a Patriots and All Blacks fan. This summer I’m working with a super awesome group on detecting Helium-3 in the permanently shadowed areas of the lunar poles. I am tasked with designing an instrument that will detect the resonance back scattering from Helium-3. I’m really enjoying the work I’m doing here at NASA.
