Dr. Hayley Beltz is a new postdoc in the department, having just earned her PhD from the University of Michigan. She focuses on 3D numerical models of gas giant planets known as Hot Jupiters. Her recent work has been exploring the effect of magnetic drag on the circulation and observables of ultrahot Jupiters. She is interested in understanding how magnetism alters the flow on these planets and exploring how these effects could be detected with ground based high-resolution spectroscopy and with space telescopes such as JWST. She is also passionate about DEI and anti-racism work in academia. Check out her personal website: here.
