My PhD was on exoplanet atmospheres
Mine was on an exoplanet atmosphere telescope design. When I was working alongside the dedicated atmospheres guys they showed whole spectra plotted against two or three data points!
JWST launches next year? And The ELT should help as well in 10 years or so.

Which telescope?

Yeah, pretty silly... I steered well clear of any observational stuff, pure theory for me
JWST was supposed to launch in 2018... They've recently halted work due to coronavirus so guessing it's going to be delayed yet again!

JWST and the next gen ground-based telescopes are the great white hope. If they ever materialise.
