    • Knuth Information Physics Laboratory

      Jan 2015 - Sept 2019
      Researcher for Knuth Information Physics Laboratory (Exoplanet Studies)

      EXONEST- Worked with the laboratory team on key principles behind EXONEST, an algorithm relying on Bayesian inference techniques to characterize exoplanets.- Showed that EXONEST is capable of characterizing the mass, the radius and the relative orbital inclination of Kepler-428b, Kepler-40b and Kepler-44b (honors thesis).- Optimized the reduction process of the data as given on the NASA Exoplanet Archives for EXONEST.Exoplanetary Oblateness- Modeled for EXONEST (master’s thesis) · transit light curves for non-spherical (ellipsoidal) exoplanets. · the star’s ellipsoidal variations and their impact on transit light curves for non-spherical exoplanets. · reflected light curves for non-spherical exoplanets for the first time.- Demonstrated that the reflected light curve can be used to determine the shape of an exoplanet (master’s thesis).- Showed the impact on the transit light curve of the precession of the obliquity angle for an ellipsoidal exoplanet, in agreement with previous findings (master’s thesis).- Presented a mathematical approach based on fluid dynamics to derive equations for the Maclaurin’s spheroid, the Jacobi’s and the Roche’s ellipsoids (master’s thesis).- Currently working on the detectability of resonance phenomenons between orbital and rotational periods for non-spherical exoplanets.
