Trosolwyg
Rwy'n ymwneud â datblygu teithiau ac arsyllfeydd ar gyfer nodweddu atmosfferau exoplanetary. Rwy'n ymwneud yn fawr â datblygiad taith ofod ESA Ariel a thaith NASA EXCITE.
Rwyf hefyd yn arloesi rhai astudiaethau poblogaethau exoplanetary gyda chydweithrediad cryf â sefydliadau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol, megis UCL, JPL, NAOJ, "Sapienza" Prifysgol Rhufain, INAF, ac ati.
Mae fy ngweithgareddau hefyd yn cynnwys allgymorth, gan fy mod yn arwain prosiectau sydd wedi'u hanelu at fyfyrwyr ysgol uwchradd a rhaglenni gwyddoniaeth dinasyddion i gynnwys seryddwyr amatur.

Ymchwil
Mae fy mhrif ddiddordebau ymchwil ym maes nodweddu exoplanet. Gan fod exoplanets yn anodd eu hastudio gyda'n technoleg bresennol, rwy'n canolbwyntio fy ymdrechion ar ddatblygu dulliau rhifiadol newydd ar gyfer dadansoddi data ac optimeiddio offer. Dros y blynyddoedd, rwyf wedi ennill profiad o ddatblygu a defnyddio offer a thechnegau amrywiol, gan gynnwys adfer atmosfferig, efelychwyr offerynnau o'r diwedd i'r diwedd, graddnodi offerynnau, a phiblinellau detrending data.
Teithiau exoplanetary
- ARIEL - Cydlynydd Gweithgorau. Datblygu a chynnal a chadw'r offer efelychu a'r biblinell lleihau data. Efelychu perfformiad cenhadaeth a dadansoddi data.
- EXCITE - perfformiad cenhadaeth a dadansoddi data
Poblogaethau planedol
Yn ystod y degawd diwethaf, mae nifer yr exoplanets hysbys wedi cynyddu deg gwaith: ar ddiwedd 2009, roedd tua 400 o exoplanets hysbys, tra ar ddiwedd 2019, cyrhaeddodd darganfyddiadau cadarnhaol fwy na 4000. Mae'r nifer hwn yn dal i gynyddu, diolch i deithiau gofod a daear, a chyda hynny, mae ein dealltwriaeth o exoplanets yn newid. Dechreuais ddatblygu offer ystadegol i nodweddu a dosbarthu nid yn unig planedau unigol, ond poblogaethau cyfan.
Meddalwedd wedi'i ddatblygu
Mae efelychwyr rhifiadol yn offer sylfaenol ar gyfer dylunio ac optimeiddio teithiau ac offerynnau. Rydw i ac rydw i wedi bod yn rhan o ddatblygu gwahanol efelychwyr, rhai ohonynt bellach ar gael yn gyhoeddus:
- 2024 – TaureX-emcee (syniwr, aelod o'r tîm sy'n datblygu). Ategyn ar gyfer TauREx 3.1 sy'n darparu'r
Emcee sampler gan Dan Foreman-Mackey a chyfranwyr ar gyfer yr adalw. Ar gael yn gyhoeddus ar PyPI,
GitHub. - 2023 – PAOS (aelod o'r tîm sy'n datblygu). Mae PAOS, yr Efelychydd Opteg Corfforol, yn gyflym, modern a
pecyn Python dibynadwy ar gyfer astudiaethau Opteg Ffisegol . Yn cael ei ddefnyddio gan y Ariel Space Mission (ESA). Ar goedd
ar gael ar PyPI, a GitHub. - 2022 – ExoSim 2.0 (unig ddatblygwr). Yr efelychydd parth amser newydd ar gyfer arsyllfeydd exoplanet. Defnyddir gan Daith Ofod Ariel (ESA) a'r genhadaeth EXCITE (NASA). Ar gael yn gyhoeddus ar PyPI a GitHub.
- 2021 – ExoRad (unig ddatblygwr). Yr efelychydd radiometrig generig: mae'n fersiwn gyffredinol ac wedi'i optimeiddio o ArielRad, sydd bellach yn cael ei ddefnyddio gan Daith Ofod Ariel (ESA), cenhadaeth EXCITE (NASA), Twinkle (BSSL), a Mauve (BSSL). Ar gael yn gyhoeddus ar PyPI, GitHub, ASCL.net, a Zenodo. Mwy na 29k o lawrlwythiadau.
- 2021 – Rapoc (unig ddatblygwr). Mae Rapoc yn defnyddio mesuriadau amsugno moleciwlaidd (h.y. anhryloywder sy'n dibynnu ar donfedd) i gyfrifo anhryloywder cymedrig Rosseland a Planck a ddefnyddir yn gyffredin mewn modelu atmosfferig. Ar gael yn gyhoeddus ar PyPI ac ar GitHub. Gweler hefyd EMAC a ASCL.net. Mwy na 6k lawrlwythiadau.
- 2021 – Alfnoor (prif ddatblygwr). Yr efelychydd arsylwi Ariel mil-olau: lapiwr o ArielRad / ExoRad a TauREx3 i gynhyrchu sbectrwm a arsylwir efelychu poblogaethau planedol cyfan. Cod ffynhonnell ar fynediad cyfyngedig.
- 2019 – ArielRad (prif ddatblygwr). Yr efelychydd radiometrig Ariel: cod sy'n amcangyfrif perfformiad llwyth tâl wrth arsylwi targed, gan dorri'r sŵn i'w gydrannau. Fersiwn ar-lein ar gael ar ExoDB ar gyfer aelodau Consortiwm Ariel. Cod ffynhonnell ar fynediad cyfyngedig.
