Thermal and Radiative Properties of Exoplanet Atmospheres Across the Mass Range
… I then explore the atmospheric conditions in mini-Neptunes, whose observations are beginning to provide constraints on their chemical and thermal properties, while also providing clues about their interiors and potential surfaces. With their relatively large scale heights and large planet-star …

Towards Generalized Characterization of Exoplanet Atmospheres with Transit Spectroscopy
… temperatures beyond 3000 K, to temperate mini Neptunes that may host water in their atmospheres. Upcoming observational facilities in the next two decades will deliver exquisite spectra of exoplanet atmospheres at wavelengths never probed before, with unprecedented precision, and at much …

The formation and evolution of planetary systems
… the preponderance of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes (planets with radii smaller than Neptune's but larger than Earth's) at short orbital radii has challenged planet formation theories developed in the context of our own Solar System. How and where these planets form remains an …

Investigating the Characteristics of Exoplanetary Atmospheres and Interiors
… range of planets, from hot Jupiters to temperate mini-Neptunes. I conduct an assessment of the feasibility of supervised machine learning as a tool to carry out atmospheric retrievals of exoplanets. Retrieval methods commonly conduct Bayesian parameter estimation and statistical inference using …
