Vivian Miranda is a Brazilian postdoctoral research associate at the Steward Observatory in the University of Arizona's Department of Astronomy. Her research is on cosmological inflation, with a focus on the Dark Energy Survey. She is the only Brazilian involved in the project, which is valued at 3.5 billion dollars. She is a mentor with The Supernova Foundation, which provides support for women in physics. Awards and honors In 2014, she won the Nathan Sugarman research award. She was chosen for her "thorough and careful work in elucidating the effect of inflationary features on cosmic microwave background anisotropy and non-Gaussianity". Miranda is the recipient of the 2019 Leona Woods Distinguished Postdoctoral Lectureship Award. She was the first Brazilian to win the Award. She is not uncomfortable talking about her past before her transition, however, saying she is proud of what she accomplished as Vinicius, "but that time has passed". |
