Jason Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University. He specializes in the imaging and characterization of faint exoplanets, utilizing advanced techniques such as coronagraphy, spectroscopy, and interferometry. His research involves developing methods to reduce glare from host stars to isolate exoplanet signals, enabling accurate measurements of their properties. He also monitors these celestial bodies over time to trace their orbits and infer their dynamical histories, gaining insights into their atmospheres through spectroscopic analysis. His work primarily focuses on gas giant exoplanets with the ultimate goal of improving imaging techniques to search for potentially habitable exoplanets.
