Dr. Diana Powell is a NASA Sagan Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Center for Astrophysics. She will be starting as a Neubauer Family Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the...

I am a quantum astrochemist and my research focuses on exoplanet spectroscopy and its applications to astrobiology. 

My projects all rely on computational chemistry to understand how molecules interact with light, particularly those molecules that may be...

Charles Law's senior thesis was aimed at characterizing the carbon chain chemistry in an unbiased sample of Solar-type protostars and he is now exploring the nitrile chemistry in high-mass star-forming regions.

Research Interests:   My research focuses on stellar magnetic activity, and using the solar case to build more sophisticated stellar models

 

Research Interests - I am working on phenomena relevant to solar and stellar winds and activity events, such as CMEs, flares, and energetic particles. 

Research Interests: My research interests include exoplanet detection and characterization with a focus on planetary formation, architectures, and habitability. I am also interested in studying self-lensing binary systems.

Research interests: I’m interested in orbital dynamics and the dynamical evolution of systems at various scales, such as planetary systems and galaxies.  These systems can be studied through model called the gravitational N—body problem.  I studied...

Research interests: Dynamics of planetary systems with applications to planet formation and long-term evolution; Dynamical characterization of exoplanet systems (e.g., through transit timing variations)

 

Research Interests: Characterizing the magnetic phenomena on fully-convective M-dwarfs to constrain the stellar radiation environment of their planets

Amit is interested in the macro and microscopic nature of atmospheric outgassing for the case of exoplanets and icy moons. Amit is combining analytical analysis of transport in planetary interiors with atomistic simulations of high-pressure chemistry to...
