Mansi Kasliwal

Mansi Manoj Kasliwal is an Indian-born American astronomer, a professor of astronomy at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and the director of the Palomar Observatory. Her research has used multi-messenger astronomy to study the nucleosynthesis of elements heavier than iron, in processes that go beyond the more common stellar nucleosynthesis, including supernovae and neutron star mergers. To find these events she has helped develop automated sky surveys including the Palomar Transient Factory and Zwicky Transient Facility. Provided by Wikipedia
