I am interested in using spectroscopy to study the bulk atmospheric properties of exoplanets such as composition, thermal structure, dynamics, and cloudiness, to better understand the underlying processes that create such a diversity of worlds. I am also interested in exploring how this information may relate to the formation and evolutionary mechanisms that sculpt planetary systems. Lastly, I am interested in better characterizing clouds in exoplanets using more detailed models and comparing them to our more detailed observations of clouds in the solar system.
