Caleb Harada is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and PhD Candidate in Astrophysics. Caleb's research focuses the detection and characterization of extrasolar worlds and their host systems. They are particularly interested in understanding the astrophysical context of extrasolar systems hosting potentially Earth-like exoplanets, especially in how planetary system architectures and different outcomes of planet-formation processes may influence exoplanet habitability. They are jointly a member of the NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) working group on Target Stars and Systems for the future HWO direct-imaging search for exo-Earths around nearby stars.
