Eric Agol studies extrasolar planets, binary stars, and gravitational lensing. He uses analytic computations, numerical simulations, and observations to discover and characterize these objects.

Eric Agol creates theoretical models applied to extrasolar planet systems, as well as compact objects, binary stars, and gravitational lensing. Faculty advisor for the Pre-Major in Astronomy Program (Pre-MAP).

Eric Agol (born May 13, 1970 in Hollywood, California) is an American astronomer and astrophysicist who was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017. [1][2]

Eric B. Ford Distinguished Professor, Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics / Institute for Computational & Data

Eric Agol studies transits of extrasolar planets, for which he has created a widely used modeling code and helped originate the idea of detecting and characterizing planets using transit time variations.
