Senior🎓
Top SchoolJea Adams is a Ph.D. student in Astronomy & Astrophysics at Harvard with eight years of experience building Python-based pipelines and statistical tools to detect and characterize exoplanets and their atmospheres. She has engineered and adapted high-contrast imaging software (including extensions to pyKLIP) for JWST simulations and used Bayesian inference to extract planet fluxes and positions from challenging datasets. Her work spans telescope data from ALMA and the Submillimeter Array to direct-imaging instruments, and she publishes reproducible Jupyter notebook tutorials for broader community use. Based in Cambridge, MA, Jea blends rigorous astrophysical analysis with practical software engineering, often optimizing existing research tools to meet mission-driven needs.
