Songhu Wang studies exoplanets — planets orbiting stars other than our Sun — with a focus on how giant planets like hot and warm Jupiters form and evolve. Much of the work measures the alignment between planets' orbits and their host stars' spin, and explores how a star's chemical makeup (such as being metal-rich) relates to the architecture of its planetary system. The research combines radial-velocity and photometric observations, often using NASA's TESS mission data.
