Planetary Science Ph.D. Candidate

Welcome!

Headshot of Ryleigh Davis

I am planetary scientist and Ph.D. candidate at Caltech, where I work with Dr. Mike Brown to study the surfaces of icy moons using spacecraft and telescope spectroscopy across UV to mid-infrared wavelengths. My research focuses on understanding the surface compositions and evolution of icy satellites - like Europa, Callisto, and the small inner moons of Uranus and Neptune - and what these surfaces can tell us about these unique worlds and how they formed.
