The simulator has been used to help improve our understanding of the structure of the inner Galaxy, as well as to develop reference designs for potential Euclid and Roman exoplanet microlemsing surveys. My team has developed MaBulS, the most detailed public simulator of Galactic microlensing. This will potentially work in combination with the NASA Roman mission that will launch in 2026/27.
We aim to undertake a microlensing survey for exoplanets as an additional science objective for the €600 million ESA Euclid mission, which will launch in July 2023. I currently serve as Lead for the Euclid Exoplanet Science Working Group. The microlensing technique is the central method that will be used by the upcoming $3 billion NASA Roman mission to look for planets down to, and below, Earth mass that are on wider orbits around their host stars. The same study has also uncovered evidence for a population of Earth-mass exoplanets that may not even be bound to any host star (so-called free-floating planets). I am the Principal Investigator of an STFC-funded study that has used the NASA Kepler space telescope to make the first space-based discovery of an exoplanet using the microlensing technique. Additionally, I have broader research interests in time-domain astronomy and the 3D structure of our Galaxy. Recently, I proposed the idea of mutual detectability - a game-theory based approach for the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). My research encompasses the detection and characterization of planets outside our solar system (exoplanets). I have co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed papers in astronomy. My research has also frequently been highlighted in national and international newspapers and special interest magazines. I have frequently appeared as a space expert live on BBC Breakfast as well as on BBC national and World Service radio. In 2022 I was invited by the US National Academies of Sciences to serve on its Committee for Astronomy and Astrophysics to review and recommend science time allocation for the NASA Roman mission. In 2015 I was invited by NASA to serve on the selection panel for the Kepler K2 Microlensing Science Investigation Team. In 2012 I was invited by NASA to serve as consultant to the Science Defintion Team for its final report on the design of the WFIRST mission (since renamed as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope). I am also Principal Investigator of the UK-Thai-Indian SPEARNET survey, which is using a ground-based global telescope network to undertake a large-scale study of exoplanet atmospheres. I lead the Exoplanet Science Working Group for the European Space Agency (ESA) Euclid space mission, which will launch in 2023. I work with ground based optical and near-infrared telescope data as well as data from space missions such as Kepler, Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope. I also do some work on developing game-theory based strategies for the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
My current research focuses on the detection of cool exoplanets using microlensing as well as the study of the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets using transmission spectroscopy. I moved to the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, University of Manchester, in 2007 where I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Physics and Astronomy. I was a senior research fellow at Liverpool John Moores University from 2000 until 2004 when I became an STFC (then PPARC) Advanced Fellow. I was a EU Marie Curie Fellow at Strasbourg Observatory from 1996-1998 and a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford from 1998-2001. Meanwhile, the AR mode lets you use the camera from your own mobile device to generate a puzzle planet onto your own world.I obtained a BSc degree in Astronomy from the University College, University of London in 1991 and a PhD from Queen Mary, University of London in 1995. You can also unlock different space suits and rocket ships as you progress through the game, as well as receive in-game rewards by clearing special missions. You'll also have to scout for a safe route to get to your vehicle with the least possible moves, adding a bigger challenge to overcome with every new planet. You'll have to look for stars across a cubic planet in order to power your ship while avoiding obstacles along the way. In QB Planets, you step into the shoes of an adventurous astronaut as you discover the mysterious powers of beautiful but dangerous puzzle planets. The cubic puzzle space adventure features vibrant family-friendly challenges where players can explore cubic planets, collect stars, and set out on an intergalactic journey with AR elements.
