DADDAA Faculty Search: “Advancing Precision Spectroscopy and Detecting Earth Analogs”

Abstract: Extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) measurements, capable of capturing signals with an amplitude of just 10-30 cm/s, are needed to calculate low-mass planet compositions, inform planet dynamics, and enable interpretable atmosphere spectroscopy.  Achieving this level of precision spectroscopy requires innovation at all levels, from the instrumentation to the extraction software to the astrophysics guiding the final derived RV measurements.  I will give an overview of recent advances in the EPRV field with a focus on data-driven algorithms that carry implications across spectroscopy and establish the current state of the field in EPRV work.
