Trosolwyg
I’m a university lecturer and astrophysicist working in the field of extra-solar planets. I am involved in the development of new missions and observatories to characterise the atmospheres of exoplanets, in particular the ESA Ariel mission, as well as Twinkle and the NASA EXCITE mission. I also am involved in cycle 1 JWST exoplanet observations in collaboration with IoA Cambridge. I am interested in understanding atmospheric and planetary processes in temperate regime sub-Neptunes and gas giants, and how these relate to fundamental questions of planet formation and the diversity of the exoplanet population. I am also interested in astrobiology, particularly the potential for biospheres in temperate gas giants, modeling of observations to find the frequency of life-bearing worlds (the fL factor in the Drake Equation), and how exoplanetary observations might be able to constrain theories of the origin of life.
