TAP Planetary Atmospheres Initiative

Luis Welbanks, Arizona State University

Title:  TBA

Abstract: TBA

Bio:  Luis Welbanks' research focuses on the characterization of exoplanet atmospheres, from ultra-hot Jupiters to temperate Earth-sized planets, acquiring and interpreting low- and high-resolution atmospheric spectra of their atmospheres.  He seeks to unravel the physical and chemical conditions for these planetary atmospheres as individual objects and populations.

That is, his research aims to bridge the gap between atmospheric observations and their interpretation. The objective is to not only answer what are exoplanet atmospheres made of, but which data drive our inferences and how reliable are these inferences.

Luis Welbanks is an Assistant Professor at The School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University.  Visit his group’s website Exoteric Lab to learn more about our work at ASU.
