Hi! I'm Karishma, a graduate of the Co-term Masters program that worked in Dr. Karyn Rogers lab. I started at RPI as a Biology undergraduate, however, quickly became captivated by the research done at the RARE Center to decipher the ever-alluring question "How did life originate?". After pursuing an Astrobiology minor in my Bachelor's, I completed a Masters degree in Geology in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department under the Rogers Group in December 2025.
