Gavin Wang
Undergraduate at JHU

Hello! I’m Gavin Wang, a junior Physics major at Johns Hopkins University. I’m broadly interested in exoplanets and research them with a variety of methods. My current projects include brown dwarf high-resolution spectroscopy with Jerry Xuan, precise mass measurement of an evaporating hot Saturn with William Balmer, and testing planet formation models by measuring the properties of two young planets. I am also been developing statistical techniques with Dr. Néstor Espinoza to reduce 1/f noise in JWST’s near-IR detectors.

In the past, I searched for transit variability signatures using TESS under Dr. Espinoza’s mentorship. I was also an active member of the TESS Followup Observing Program in high school, where I helped discover and characterize exoplanets for the TESS mission.
