I am interested in studying the atmospheres of exoplanets to understand their composition and how that can inform us on formation and evolution histories of these planets. My work has ranged from data analysis of high-resolution spectroscopic observations of hot Jupiters to modeling stellar and planetary atmospheres to determine the habitability of rocky exoplanets orbiting M-dwarfs.

Theory & Modeling
This project has determined an initial set of targets: LTT 1445 A c and GJ 3929 b. I am making tailored full-wavelength synthetic spectra for the host stars of these planets (LTT 1445 A and GJ 3929) with the PHOENIX atmosphere code and using archival HST and GALEX observations as empirical guidance to constrain the UV spectrum. I am also using the Planetary Spectrum Generator to create model spectra for LTT 1445 A c, GJ 3929 b, and LTT 1445 A b.
