Post-Doctoral Associate
Matthew Nixon is a postdoctoral researcher working on characterising the atmospheres and interiors of extrasolar planets (exoplanets). He completed his Ph.D. at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge. Matthew is interested in understanding how we can connect models of atmosphere-interior exchange on sub-Neptune exoplanets to observations of their atmospheres from facilities such as JWST. He is also interested in developing and applying novel statistical methods to ensure that we can derive robust atmospheric constraints from observations.
