Detection and Characterization of Hot Super-Earth Exoplanets
… main research areas: surface characterization, atmospheric characterization, and planet detection. Surface characterization is explored through laboratory experiments to help explain the observed brightness (high geometric albedos) of some hot super-Earths. We design high-temperature experiments …

The Atmospheric Fingerprints of Volcanism: Simulating Volcanic Outgassing and Secondary Atmospheres on Rocky Planets
The study of the atmospheric composition and evolution of rocky planet atmospheres is key to understanding both the conditions required to develop a habitable planet, and to analyse the link between the deep interior and atmosphere of rocky bodies. This thesis uses volcanism as a chemical link …

The Formation and Evolution of Habitable Worlds
… these upper and lower bounds by modeling the atmospheric escape of planets and moons around Sun-like stars. We show that rocky planets are unlikely to exist with radii larger than ~1.8 Earth radii and the smallest habitable planets and habitable zone icy moons may be similar to, or greater in …
