Research & Education

I designed the OpenExo curriculum to bridge the gap between classroom theory and orbital reality. These modules transition from conceptual wonder to rigorous data analysis, providing students with the tools to conduct their own exoplanetary investigations.

Level I: Introductory

Junior Astronomers

"Where curiosity becomes wonder."

I developed this course for grades 3-5 to introduce the fundamental mechanics of our universe. We move beyond memorizing planet names to understanding why space exploration matters, using interactive simulations to spark a primary interest in the search for new worlds.

Level II: Intermediate

Data Explorers

"Learning how planets are found."

For grades 6-7, I shifted the focus to Empirical Analysis. Students begin working with raw light-curve data from NASA’s Exoplanet Archive. I guide them through writing basic code to generate graphs and identify the periodic starlight dips that signal a transiting world.

Level III: Advanced

Space Researchers

"Doing real exoplanet science."

This high-school level course mirrors my own research workflow. Students analyze authentic Kepler data, adjusting detection parameters and evaluating signal-to-noise ratios. We focus on Technical Rigor—distinguishing true planetary signals from stellar variability and generating research-style reports.
