About Emily
I work to characterize the atmospheres of planets outside of our Solar System (“exoplanets”), through three-dimensional modeling of their atmospheric circulation patterns (winds and temperature structures). I am particularly interested in predicting observable signatures of various physical processes and in identifying new observational techniques that can be used to better constrain the atmospheric properties of these exotic worlds.
