Research
Kempton's research focuses on the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. She is a theorist who uses a range of modeling approaches combined with observational data as a means of probing the chemistry, thermal structures, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. She is motivated by questions relating to the diversity of exoplanets that populate our galaxy and how that informs our understanding of our own solar system as well as planet formation and evolution more broadly.
