Matthew Route studies magnetic activity and radio emission from stars, brown dwarfs, and their planetary companions, using large radio telescopes such as Arecibo to search for radio flares that could reveal magnetic interactions between stars and orbiting planets. His work, organized under a project called ROME (Radio Observations of Magnetized Exoplanets), examines cool, low-mass stars and substellar objects (brown dwarfs) as well as white dwarfs for signs of magnetospheric activity, star-planet interaction, or auroral emissions. He has also contributed to discussions about the future of radio astronomy infrastructure, including proposals for a next-generation Arecibo telescope.
