Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Automotive Engineering] From University of Brighton

The main focus of theÊPhysics and Astronomy (Solar and Stellar Physics Specialism) is the NASA Kepler mission, which was launched in 2009. Kepler is searching for Earths around other stars, and observations of oscillations in many hundreds of solar-type stars are a key part of the programme.

We lead the international consortium of over 170 scientists that is studying solar-type stars (including coordination of joint projects with the Kepler exoplanet programme), and we also have leading roles in the teams responsible for the study of red giants. In addition to Kepler, we are also actively engaged in international collaborations making use of data from other satellites (e.g., the French-led CoRoT) and ground-based telescopes (e.g., KECK).
