This research identifies potentially habitable rocky exoplanets by measuring their densities, water content, and internal heating through orbital interactions and transit observations. Using these techniques, several promising ocean and volcanic worlds have been identified as targets for the James Webb Space Telescope in the search for extraterrestrial life and habitable environments.

This research develops methods to detect and study exomoons, moons orbiting planets outside our solar system. By combining high-contrast imaging with indirect detection techniques, the work aims to identify exomoons, analyze their atmospheres, and search for biosignatures such as oxygen and methane that could indicate extraterrestrial life.
