Scientists

Research Interests: Microlensing searches for exoplanets, brown dwarfs, and other objects, including detailed characterization using space-based microlensing parallaxes.

Research Interests:  Professor Sasselov studies, among other things, extrasolar planets, and he's a co-investigator on NASA's Kepler mission, which is monitoring 100,000 stars in a three-year hunt for exoplanets -- including Jupiter-sized giants. Sasselov...

Research Interests: Exoplanets have been my main research interest in recent years, initially with a focus on the detection of candidate planets, both with radial-velocity surveys and with space missions such as Kepler and TESS.  Now my focus is on the...

Research Interests: The detection and characterization of exoplanets.

Research Interests: Studies of the long-term dynamics of our solar system and extrasolar planetary systems. Observational surveys for Kuiper belt objects, Centaurs, and outer planet satellites.

Research Interests: Detection and characterization of extrasolar planets, with the goal of studying inhabited worlds. In pursuit of this goal I also pursue novel ground-based and space-based instrumentation, and studies of stellar astrophysics.

My research interests are primarily in observational astronomy. I work mostly on detection and characterization of exoplanets. I've worked on ground-based transit surveys such as the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT), the Hungarian Automated...
