Profile bio
About Siranush Babakhanova
I do science and invest. Stanford Biophysics PhD (three fellowships), MIT'20 Physics + CS (first female from Caucasus region in all of those). I invest in nat sec critical companies that are category defining in the way they change the physical world.For fun I help move forward some art, linguistics, history, education projects.Previously:I worked on exoatmosphere-wide simulations at NASA, and designed tools for deep brain imaging and in situ proteomics in Boyden lab. I co-founded Xapiens human augmentation initiative, served as a president at MIT Armenian Society, and advised SEDS projects. I became the first Armenian woman to win each of six International Olympiad awards and was named Best Presidential Scholar. My teams earned second place in the NASA BIG Idea Challenge, Council for Arts at MIT Grants, and I was selected Knight-Hennessy, NSF GRFP, Interact and ADVANCE program fellow and Hertz Foundation Fellowship Finalist.

Software Engineer And Researcher At The Sellers Exoplanet Environments Collaboration (Seec)
I developed a model of chemical time-evolution of exoplanetary atmospheres in reaction to the space weather. Used >5000 chemical, photochemical and particle collision reactions, 300 species including isomers, isotopes, major quantum states and temperature dependencies of the reaction rates. I performed an analysis of the reaction network and perfected it by extrapolated reaction rate in the undefined temperature ranges. I programmed in Python, Fortran, and Javascript. The model helps to predict the terraforming scenarios, identifies the observable signatures of habitable exoplanets, and will be available open access in EMAC GSFC/SEEC and used for perfecting of construction of space telescopes for exoplanetary observations.I am the first woman from Armenia to intern at NASA.
