I study exoplanets, worlds orbiting stars other than our own Sun. I use small telescopes to search for new exoplanets that transit their stars and then big telescopes, both on the ground and in space, to observe these planets' atmospheres. I develop techniques for precise spectrophotometric observations of stars, and I am interested in the visualization of complicated datasets.
