Kathryn Volk
Research Scientist/Associate Staff Scientist, Planetary Sciences
Orbital Dynamics, Theoretical Astrophysics
Kuiper belt objects, planetary dynamics, exoplanets
Current research projects include: developing software to enable easy dynamical characterization of small bodies in the solar system (SBDynT), using observations and theoretical studies of trans-Neptunian populations to understand the dynamical history of the outer solar system, and coupling dynamical studies to observational studies to understand active Centaurs and their transition to the Jupiter family comet population. I am a member of the LSST Solar System Science Collaboration.
