Sara Frederick is a postdoc in Vanderbilt’s Physics and Astronomy Department. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a PhD in Astronomy and joining the research lab of Professor Jessie Runnoe in 2021, she continued her studies of active galaxies using spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Having previously discovered a new observational class of flares in low-ionization nuclear emission-line region galaxies (LINERs) using the Zwicky Transient Facility survey, she continues to leverage large data sets to explore new classes of extremely variable objects associated with high rates of accretion onto supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN). In addition to her scientific interests and through the continued support of the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, Sara has had a unique opportunity to devote her time and efforts into projects related to neuroinclusion. She currently serves as the instructor for the Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering (NISE) course, which offers training to graduate fellows to develop innovative approaches and technologies to support neurodiverse populations. She is also a postdoctoral affiliate of the Wells Fargo Center for Neurodiversity and Inclusive Employment at the University of Connecticut. Her work with the center focuses on expanding employment for neurodiverse job seekers in STEM industries and beyond through academic research and employer education.
