Research Interests
Exo-Venuses and Atmospheric Retrievals
My primary interest is in understanding the atmospheres of potential Venus-like exoplanets, otherwise known and Exo-Venuses. I mostly work with the NEMESIS code for atmospheric retrieval of exoplanets.
JWST ERS Transit: WASP 39 b
I was a member the JWST ERS Transit Program. A part of the research conducted by this collaboration led to the first confirmation of atmospheric CO2 in the atmosphere of WASP 39 b using JWST.
