Hello, I’m Yiwei.

I’m a PhD student at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. I use space telescopes to study planets in other solar systems. I’m interested in understanding what planets are made of, how they form, and how they change over their lifetimes. To do this, I work with a variety of techniques, from transmission spectroscopy to direct imaging to statistical simulations. I’m always happy to chat about my research, exoplanets or astronomy in general, so feel free to reach out if you have questions.
