Astronomer | Mission Scientist

I am a firm believer that science is best done in teams, and I've been lucky enough to form a thriving research group at STScI that focuses on the study of exoplanet atmospheres.

Below you can meet the talented scientists who make up our team — those currently exploring new worlds with us, and those who have gone on to new adventures elsewhere.
