Emilie Simpson is an early-career scientist with a research background in exoplanetary science and planetary habitability. Her master’s work primarily involved using TESS data products to study the behavior of variable host stars and how that behavior could affect their exoplanets.
At the SETI Institute, Emilie applies her knowledge to managing data products for the Ring-Moon Systems Node, helping to ensure reliable public access to planetary data for current and future generations of scientists.
Not Just Aliens is the SETI Institute’s weekly series featuring scientists exploring astrobiology, heliophysics, planetary science, and more — expanding the search for life beyond Earth. And sometimes, we feature scientists looking for technosignatures!
