I study planets in the Solar System and planets around other stars, called exoplanets. Through lab experiments & computer models, I investigate the potential clouds and hazes on other planets. Drawing on my theory and experimental work, I am involved with many Hubble and JWST programs to help interpret exoplanetary atmospheres. I want to figure out how the aerosols and chemistry of an atmosphere affect its climate, change our observations of these distant worlds, and impact habitability.
