Tanner Research Group
My research group is dedicated to expanding our knowledge of exoplanetary systems and making the community more accessible through new archives and analysis tools.

Recent research projects include the follow-up of young TESS TOIs, space missions LUSTER and Landolt, and preparation for future direct imaging programs including Roman, Rubin and LOUVIR. I am also creating the Starchive, which will be an innovative stellar, exoplanet and circumstellar disk research resource.
I currently advise one graduate student, five undergrads, and a high school (MSMS) student. I teach our Descriptive Astronomy (PH 1063) class as well as Astrophysics (PH 3063), which we are changing to a cross-listed grad level class, and Optics (PH 4513). I have created multiple resources like the Astro Ed Google Drive to help faculty with class development.
In addition to multiple university and department committees, I am involved in both the AIP TEAM-UP and APS IDEA programs intent on making physics and astronomy a more inclusive, diverse and eqitiable community for all. I also do multiple astronomy themed outreach events with our Howell Observatory on Southfarm.
