Eliza Kempton

Eliza Kempton is an Adjunct Professor and Graduate Director at Grinnell College, where she specializes in exoplanetary science and stellar astrophysics. Her research focuses on characterizing exoplanet atmospheres, particularly sub-Neptunes and rocky M-Earths, using observational data from facilities like JWST. Recent work includes haze-free atmospheric modeling of TOI-421 b, cloud dynamics in GJ 1214 b, and magma ocean interactions in TOI-270 d. She has published in *Science* and *The Astrophysical Journal*, advancing atmospheric retrieval techniques and planetary interior constraints.
