Kiersten M. Boley studies exoplanets (planets orbiting stars other than the Sun) and how their properties relate to the characteristics of their host stars, including stellar age, chemical composition, and location within the Milky Way galaxy. Much of this work uses data from space telescopes like Kepler/K2 and TESS to detect transiting planets and estimate how common different planet types are around various kinds of stars. This research helps explain how planetary systems form and evolve depending on their galactic environment and stellar history.
Publication output was minimal or absent before 2021 but has grown substantially since, with a notable surge in 2023 and continued high activity through 2025-2026.
