Ruth Angus is a Simons postdoctoral junior fellow, Department of Astronomy, Columbia University. Angus is interested in extrasolar planets — planets outside our own Solar system. She uses her expertise in star-dating to measure the ages of thousands of stars and planets in the Milky Way. By doing this she hopes to reveal the processes behind the formation of these alien worlds and their distribution across the galaxy.
