My research activity to date has focused on the transiting exoplanet systems, for which at least one planet passes in front of (transit) and/or behind (eclipse) the host star for a portion of its orbit. This geometric configuration favors the detailed characterization of these systems, including information on the chemistry and dynamics of the exoplanet atmosphere. The number of transiting exoplanets accounts for about 75% of the known exoplanet population, largely owing to targeted research programs.
