 netary atmospheres. However\, the lack of comprehensive\, self-consistent 
 studies hinder our understanding of their interpretation of observations\,
  potentially introducing significant biases in retrieved atmospheric prope
 rties. I will present a 3D framework which the impact of hazes for both ro
 cky planets and gas giants using the UK Met Office Unified Model. I reveal
  that haze can enhance the habitability of rocky planets\, and explore imp
 lications for future missions e.g.\, the Habitable World Observatory and L
 arge Interferometer for Exoplanets. I also demonstrate the impact of hazes
  on the dynamical and chemical structure of hot Jupiter atmospheres\, and 
 how these shape observations comparing to existing\, and ongoing JWST prog
 rammes I am involved in.  Finally\, I introduce a novel framework for dia
 gnosing the presence of hazes in hot Jupiters using limb asymmetry\, offer
 ing a computationally efficient alternative to full 3D simulations in plan
 ning of observations.Biography:Dr. Mei Ting Mak is an astrophysicist speci
 alising in aerosols and exo-planetary climate modelling. She is currently 
 a Croucher Fellow based at the University of Oxford\, developing and apply
 ing cutting-edge haze schemes in a state-of-the-art 3D model to study impa
 ct of haze on habitability and observability of exoplanets. Previously\, s
 he secured the prestigious Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund to inves
 tigate the role of haze in exoplanetary atmospheres for her PhD.\n\nhttps:
