B. Scott Gaudi

This researcher studies how planets form and are detected around other stars, using techniques such as gravitational microlensing (where a background star's light is bent and brightened by a foreign planet's gravity), transit surveys (detecting planets by the dimming they cause as they pass in front of their star), and radial velocity measurements (detecting a star's wobble caused by orbiting planets). Recent work spans exoplanet demographics, planets orbiting white dwarfs and brown dwarfs, and planning for future space telescope surveys like the Roman Space Telescope. The work is largely collaborative, involving large survey teams and instrument consortia such as TESS, OGLE, and KMTNet.

Publication output was higher and fairly steady from 2017-2019 (around 30-40 papers/year) but has declined markedly since 2020, dropping to roughly 11-13 papers/year in recent years.
