Autorenporträt
Sarah Dodson-Robinson received her PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics from University of California at Santa Cruz in 2008, then took a Spitzer Postdoctoral Fellowship at NASA Exoplanet Science Institute. She is now an Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at University of Delaware. In 2013, she won the American Astronomical Society's Annie Jump Cannon award for her contributions to the study of planet formation. Dr. Dodson-Robinson conducts numerical simulations of the chemical and dynamical evolution of planet-forming disks and participates in observational studies of debris disks. She also develops and tests methods for distinguishing exoplanet discoveries from stellar noise.
