Education and career
[edit]Carigi earned master's and doctoral degrees in astronomy through research in Venezuela's Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia.[1] She completed her Ph.D. in 1994, at the Central University of Venezuela, with the dissertation Evolución química de la vecindad solar con rendimientos químicos estelares dependientes de la metalicidad [Chemical evolution of the solar neighborhood with stellar chemical yields dependant on metallicity], supervised by Gustavo Ramón Bruzual Alfonso.[3]
She came to the UNAM Institute of Astronomy as a postdoctoral researcher, working with Manuel Peimbert,[1] and has been a research professor there since 1995.[4]
