My research seeks to characterize planetary atmospheres, ranging from observational studies of the outer Solar System (including Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, and Neptune) to theoretical modeling of exoplanet atmospheres (e.g. GJ 1214b). I am currently focusing on the atmospheres of the Ice Giants–Uranus and Neptune–with a particular emphasis on their structure, chemistry, and variability as inferred from near- and mid-infrared observations from JWST.
