Jason Wang's research focuses on directly imaging and characterizing exoplanets and substellar companions—planets and planet-like objects orbiting other stars—using advanced telescope instruments such as VLTI/GRAVITY, JWST NIRCam, and the Gemini Planet Imager. This work involves detecting faint planetary signals near bright stars, measuring their orbits and atmospheric properties, and studying how planetary systems form and evolve. The group also develops and shares data-analysis tools and datasets to support this kind of high-contrast imaging research.
