Kevin's research spans many facets of exoplanet science, which began when he was an undergrad at the University of Arizona conducting follow-up observations of hot Jupiters with the Kupier 61" Telescope. After the U of A, Kevin went on to study brown dwarf variability and constrain M dwarf planet occurrence rates for his PhD at the University of Toledo. He was a visiting graduate fellow and later postdoc at Caltech/IPAC-NExScI, following up K2 exoplanet discoveries with Spitzer and working to constrain planet occurrence rates with K2 data. Kevin collects and uses archival data from several ground and space-based observatories to characterize stars and their unique planets. He is currently assessing the capabilities of upcoming extremely large telescopes and their potential to detect biosignatures.
