Billy Edwards

I am a Research Fellow at University College London (UCL) and the Project Scientist of the Twinkle Space Mission. My research focuses on the capabilities of space-based telescopes to spectroscopically study exoplanet atmospheres and reveal their composition. I currently analyse data from the Hubble Space Telescope and I am eagerly awaiting new facilities, such as JWST, Twinkle and Ariel, which will enable detailed population studies of exoplanet atmospheres. I also involved in the ExoClock project, a programme which aims to engage with citizen scientists from across the world to accurately measure the orbital parameters of exoplanets so they can be further characterised by upcoming missions.
