My current research projects are 

• A detailed characterization of various exoplanet atmospheres—from hot Jupiters to sub-Neptunes and super-Earths—using automated photochemical reaction network generation. (Co-advisor: Dr. Renyu Hu)

• Laboratory simulations of photochemical processes in the atmosphere of hot-Jupiter-type exoplanets (Co-advisor: Dr. Murthy S. Gudipati)

• James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Cycle 2 Guest Observers program 3942 (PI: Dr. Mario Damiano)

• James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Cycle 3 Guest Observers program 4711 (PI: Dr. Renyu Hu)

• James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Cycle 3 Guest Observers program 5177 (PI: Dr. Renyu Hu)

My research interests are focused on 

• Fundamental and applied reaction chemical kinetics 

• Photochemistry

• The transition between gas-phase and condensed-phase chemistry during combustion and pyrolysis

• Theoretical and experimental photochemical simulation of planetary atmospheres

• Sulfur isotope mass-independent fractionation (S-MIF) and its connection to the great oxidation event (GOE)

in order to achieve...

Planet Terraforming & Atmospheric Geoengineering

in the near future.
