I have been working on exoplanets throughout my PhD, focusing on the following areas:
- Exoplanet Demographics: Currently, for my thesis, I am focusing on population studies of exoplanets, primarily around low-mass stars (M-dwarfs). I am extensively using TESS data to investigate the distribution of planets around these stars to understand planet formation and evolution around the low massive stars.
Project 1: Exploring the Radius valley amongst the lowest mass stars with TESS
-
Exoplanet Atmospheres: I studied planetary atmospheres, under Prof. Patricio Rojo, where I tackled the challenges of Molecfit and PCA to analyze the atmosphere of a rocky exoplanet with a high Transmission Spectroscopy Metric(TSM). I had the opportunity to present this work as a poster at the Open Problems in the Astrophysics of Gas Giants (OPAGA) 2023 conference.
-
Exoplanet detections: I worked under Prof. Andres Jordan and Prof. Rafeal Brahm for a semester with the detection of a warm Neptune using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) lightcurve and its radial velocity follow-up.
