Dr. Kimberly Bott received her PhD from the University of New South Wales, working on exoplanet polarimetry (observation and computational modeling). Subsequently, she held postdoc positions at the Virtual Planetary Laboratory and UC Riverside.

Currently, Dr. Bott is investigating the observability of terrestrial exoplanets in polarized light with contemporary and near-future telescopes and how the method might be used to map those worlds.
