Ian Wong

I am a postdoctoral researcher at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD and a Research Assistant Professor at American University in Washington, DC. As an observational astronomer leveraging some of the most powerful ground- and space-based telescope facilities currently in operation, I carry out detailed studies of small bodies in the middle and outer Solar System, such as Jupiter Trojans, Hildas, and Kuiper belt objects, as well as atmospheric characterization of exoplanets using phase curves, secondary eclipses, and transmission spectroscopy.
