Katie Davis

Bio

I am advised by Csaba Palotai and am working on my Ph.D. in Space Sciences. My research interests focus on the atmospheres of gas and ice giants. I currently study the effects of mid- to large- sized meteor impacts on atmospheres using various simulation techniques, specifically targeting impact events that have occurred and been observed on Jupiter.

I was born in New Jersey, where I spent most of my childhood, and later moved to Pittsburgh, PA just before high school. I came to Florida in 2017, where I attended Florida Tech and received my B.S. in Astronomy and Astrophysics 2021.
