Research summary
AI-generated

Ji Wang's research focuses on exoplanets, using high-resolution spectroscopy and direct imaging to study the atmospheres, masses, and orbital architectures of giant planets and brown dwarf companions orbiting other stars. Much of the recent work involves instrumentation and data from the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), analyzing gases like water in exoplanet atmospheres and linking planetary compositions to their host stars' chemistry and orbital dynamics. Note that the publication list also contains several unrelated titles (e.g., on materials science, steel, and basin geology), which appear to be from different researchers sharing the same name rather than this PI's work.

Publication output grew substantially from 2017 through a peak around 2023, and has been declining somewhat in 2024-2026, though data for the most recent year is likely incomplete.
