Hi! I'm Angelique,

an astronomer who characterizes worlds beyond our own Solar System.

Research

I'm excited to show you some of my research projects!
They focus on understanding the population of sub-Neptune planets, and on linking present-day exoplanets to planet formation theory. I'm currently working on an atmospheric demographics study of sub-Neptunes, using data from JWST and the HST SPACE Program. Before I joined the exoplanet world, I investigated the chemistry in star-forming regions and the effect of stellar feedback on star formation.
