Professor Björn Benneke specializes in planetary astrophysics with a focus on the observation and modeling of exoplanets. He holds a Ph.D. from MIT, where he was supervised by Sara Seager, and completed a four-year postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech. With his research team at Université de Montréal, he employs cutting-edge observational techniques and theoretical models to investigate the atmospheric properties of exoplanets, using instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope. His main research interests include the diversity of planetary atmospheres, the formation of gas giants, and the characterization of potentially habitable terrestrial exoplanets. Benneke is also the principal investigator of significant Hubble Space Programs that aim to characterize small exoplanets. He is actively engaged in large observational campaigns to answer key questions about the formation, composition, and potential for life on exoplanets.
