Research


Please see my ADS Library for papers I have written or co-authored.

Exoplanet Detection & Characterisation

I use the transit and radial velocity (RV) methods to search for and characterise exoplanets. I use observations from ground and space-based telescopes to follow-up and confirm planet candidates, and to characterise confirmed planets and search for additional planets in multi-planet systems.

Multi-planet M dwarf Systems

I am using a variety of high-resolution spectrographs to collect radial velocity data for cool stars which host multiplanet planets, with a view to measuring the masses of these planets. I am interested in how similar or dissimilar exoplanetary systems are to our own Solar System. I use populations of observed and simulated planets to study planetary system architectures.

Characterising Exoplanet Host Stars

I use photometrically- and spectroscopically-derived metallicities to study trends between planet host star abundances and planet parameters, with a particular focus on low-mass stars.
