The Extrasolar planets theme brings together researchers from across the fields of astrophysics and mathematics, including academic faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students.
Key people in extrasolar planets research
The Extrasolar Planets research theme primarily draws upon staff from within Astrophysics in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, but also features a key input from a number of mathematicians. As the theme's research expands other experts from climate change and fluid dynamics research are also having input, as well as contacts from the Met Office.
