I am an observational astronomer working primarily on time domain astronomy, in the optical and IR.

Avi’s research stretches from exoplanets to binary stars and he is broadly interested in time-domain astronomy. Avi is especially interested in the study of orbital phase curves, which was only recently enabled by high-quality time series photometry obtained by space-based surveys. He is currently working with the TESS mission to discover nearby exoplanets that will be the best targets for detailed characterization studies.
