Since 2020, she has been director at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, where she is leading the Atmospheric Physics of Exoplanets (APEx) department.

Kreidberg studied physics and astronomy at Yale University, where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in 2011.

[5] She is currently a co-investigator on multiple instrumentation projects, such as ELT/METIS and GRAVITY+, which plans to significantly enhance ground-based exoplanet observations.

One focus is the observation of hot Jupiters and rocky planets by transmission and emission spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets.

She is PI of two approved CYCLE 1 GO observing programs with the James Webb Space Telescope.
