Greklek-McKeon

Mike Greklek-McKeon is an astronomer who studies exoplanets and their host stars. He combines telescope observations with numerical modeling to research the compositions and dynamics of exoplanets. He is interested in understanding the wide range of compositions for small exoplanets, along with the formation and evolution processes that shape the small planet population. He uses ground- and space-based telescopes to measure planetary masses, radii, orbital properties, and stellar activity, and uses dynamical models to relate these properties to orbital architectures and planetary composition.
