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 and precise mass measurement of an evaporating hot Jupiter with William Balmer. On the instrument side, I have also been developing methods with Dr. Néstor Espinoza to reduce 1/f noise in JWST’s near-IR detectors.

In the past, I searched for transit 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.
