Shubham Kanodia's work focuses on understanding giant planets around M dwarfs. During his fellowship at Carnegie, Kanodia's research project will focus on measuring the masses of a sample of giant planets orbiting M dwarfs, and then leverage this to estimate their detection sensitivity and occurrence rates, as observed in the TESS mission.

He will combine this population of transiting giants with published radial velocity survey results (as well as potential future detection from GAIA) using a novel 4-dimensional nonparametric statistical technique that he developed. This will help Kanodia, and his collaborators better understand the formation processes of gas giants around M dwarfs and their dependence on stellar and orbital parameters.
