RESEARCH INTERESTS

Current research interests include planet formation (e.g., Najita, Kenyon & Bromley 2022), the hunt for Planet Nine (Meisner et al. 2018),  the growth of supermassive black holes, and binary stars and planets of all sorts (Bromley & Kenyon 2022). Ben's Interests also include understanding the nature of dark matter and dark energy in cosmology (Bromley, Sandick & Shams El Haghi 2024, Bromley & Geller 2024), and novel strategies for mitigating climate change (Bromley, Khan & Kenyon 2023).  This last paper involved research done by a student at the University of Utah, as did other recent publications (Whiting et al. 2023, King & Bromley 2024).
