Sarah Dodson-Robinson is an American astronomer known for her work on planet formation and an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Delaware.
[1][2] Dodson-Robinson research focuses on planet formation and planetary archaeology and also includes more traditional astronomy topics such as protostellar disk chemistry, galactic chemical evolution, and brown dwarfs.
[3] With the use of analytical theory and numerical simulations of the dynamical and chemical environment of planet growth, she is able to uncover the formation histories of exoplanets and solar system objects.
[5] She received the Spitzer Fellowship in 2008 and took leave from the University of Texas to use it for work at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute.
In 2013, she received the Annie Jump Cannon Award in Astronomy from the American Astronomical Society for her work on the formation of planetary systems.
