Welcome to the NEarby Worlds and Their Stars (NEWTS) Lab
Dr. Benjamin Montet,
Principal Investigator
We are a collection of researchers interested in understanding the formation and evolution of nearby planetary systems and their interactions with their host stars. We're also interested in developing new techniques to better understand these stars and planets, especially the development of data-driven tools and machine learning methods to leverage current and upcoming big datasets. To answer these questions we use telescopes on the ground in Australia, Chile, and the US, as well as space-based facilities.
