Research Interests: Exoplanet atmospheres; reflected light observations; direct imaging; eccentric systems
Laura is a postdoctoral researcher at JHU APL. Her work focuses on observations of Solar System objects as exoplanets to understand direct imaging observations of terrestrial and giant exoplanets. She uses theoretical models to infer the cloud structures of exoplanets observed with transit method instrumentation and is interested in the temporal evolution of the atmosphere of eccentric exoplanets.
