Career
Her major research interests include observational and theoretical techniques for probing exoplanet atmospheres.[2] She co-led a spectroscopic survey of the TRAPPIST-1 system in 2018 using the Hubble Space Telescope, which was the first such survey for Earth-sized exoplanets.[3][4] She also took part in the original announcement of the TRAPPIST-1 system in 2017 by helping describe the system and the importance of detecting atmospheres to search for biosignatures.[5]
