Hunter Vannier's research spans planetary science and astrophysics, including studies of lunar surface geology and mineral composition, the local interstellar medium (the gas and dust surrounding our solar system), and stellar winds and atmospheres of exoplanets. Methods used include laser-based chemical analysis of rock samples, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and analysis of orbital and telescope data to study the Moon's volcanic history and the Sun's path through interstellar space.
Publication output has been low but increasing in recent years, rising from occasional single papers before 2021 to 2-3 papers per year from 2024 onward.
