Miscellaneous Information

M. Sc. Miriam E. Cisneros-González is a PhD candidate from the Catholique University of Louvain (UCL), in Belgium. She is working at the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy since 2018 in the framework of her Ph.D. thesis: "Characterization of MAJIS/JUICE VIS-NIR detectors and impact of MAJIS over the scientific observations of the atmospheres and surfaces of Jupiter and the Galilean Moons". Her main contribution was in the design and development of the cryogenic and security system of the VIS-NIR characterization facility of the B.RCLab.

She has an Electronics Engineer degree specializing in Electronics Systems from the Technological Institute of Durango, in Mexico. In 2016, she obtained her Master in Sciences degree with specialty in Astrophysics from the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE), Mexico.

During her Master's Thesis, she worked on the integration and characterization of the cryogenic system, as well as on the alignment of the CCD detector of MEGARA, a High-Resolution Multi-Spectrograph for Astronomy operating in the Great Canary Telescope (GTC), Spain, since 2017.

She has collaborated in other astronomical projects, including the Islands Cosmological Probe for the Detection of Neutral Hydrogen (SCI-HI), the solar coronograph ASPIICS from PROBA3, an IR nanosatellite for Earth observations, and a CubeSat for IR solar observations. Currently, she is mainly focused on the development of the radiative transfer model of Jupiter's atmosphere.
