Observational, numerical, and laboratory methods in high contrast imaging

The search to directly image and characterize exoplanets that are initially hidden below the stellar and instrumental noise relies on the use of both extreme adaptive optics (AO) and a subsequent point spread function (PSF) subtraction pipeline. In this thesis I present my research on both real-time...
