Dr. Siddharth Gandhi’s Bio:

I work on the characterisation of exoplanetary atmospheres, encompassing observations from both the ground and space, and studying a range of planets, from very hot close-in transiting planets to directly imaged exoplanets at large distances from their host star.

• Originally from India, I have lived in the UK since I was 7.
• Completed my undergraduate degree in Physics at Cambridge, later transitioning to astronomy.
• Earned my PhD at the IoA under Prof N Madhusudhan, focusing on atmospheric modelling for various planets.
• Postdoctoral research at Warwick with Prof Matteo Brogi, emphasizing high-resolution ground observations.
• Held the Oort fellowship in Leiden before my current role as Assistant Professor at Warwick, starting October 2023.
• Interests include coxing and playing cricket.
