Background
Caroline obtained her PhD from the University of Montreal, at the Trottier Institute for research on exoplanets. She studies a variety of exoplanets, from small rocky planets to gas giants, using both observations and modeling of exoplanetary atmospheres and interiors. Her current research focuses on small planets which are now available for atmospheric exploration with the JWST, including searching for thin atmospheres on exo-Earths and characterizing the diversity of atmospheric compositions found on exoplanets straddling the gap between the rocky and gaseous planets of the solar system.
