About Me / Fúmsa

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the ExoTiC group at the University of Bristol. My research focusses on using JWST observations to extract information on the multi-dimensional nature of exoplanetary atmospheres.

I completed my PhD at Trinity College Dublin in 2024, where I worked on high-resolution transmission spectroscopy observations of exoplanetary atmospheres, under the supervision of Prof. Neale Gibson.
My PhD research was primarily focused on using advanced Bayesian inference techniques to constrain the atmospheric composition and dynamics of ultra-hot Jupiters.


Táim i mo thaighdeoir iardhochtúireachta sa ghrúpa ExoTiC in Ollscoil Bhriostó. Tá mo chuid taighde dírithe ar breathnuithe JWST chun eolas iltoiseach d'atmaisféir eisplainéideacha a tharraingt.

Chríochnaigh mé mo chéim dochtúra i gColáiste na Tríonóide i 2024, áit a rinne mé taighde ar breathnuithe trasmhéadú ard-réiteachta d'atmaisféir eisplainéideacha, faoi stiúr an tOllamh Neale Gibson.
Bhí mo chuid taighde PhD dírithe ar chomhshuíomh atmaisféireach de réimse phlainéid darbh ainm "ultra-hot Jupiters".
