brackham/README.md

Hi there 👋

I'm Benjamin Rackham, a Research Scientist at MIT working at the intersection of stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science.

🔭 Current Projects

  • Pandora SmallSat Mission – I lead efforts to correct stellar contamination in exoplanet transmission spectra.
  • SPECULOOS – I lead the Target Characterization Working Group, focused on understanding nearby ultracool dwarfs that could potentially host habitable exoplanets.
  • HST & JWST Legacy Archival Programs – I am the PI of The HST Stellar Treasure Trove and Eyes on the Stars, two Legacy Archival Programs studying stellar photospheric heterogeneity in transit observations and its impact on transmission spectroscopy.
  • speclib – Lead developer for a Python package for stellar spectral analysis and modeling.
