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.
