Guillem Anglada Escudé
ICE
Research Interests
His research interests are broad, but his current focus is on exoplanet detection techniques (especially Doppler spectroscopy), stellar physics, data analysis and machine learning methods, and optical instrumentation. He currently participate within the CARMENES consortium and the LIFE concept study, and he has led several surveys for terrestrial exoplanet detection around nearby red dwarfs, such as leading the team and programme that reported the discovery of Proxima b, the closest exoplanet to the Solar System. He also has interests in science communication and long term sustainable exploration of space.
He has been working as postdoctoral researcher in the US (Carnegie Institution for Science), Germany (University of Goettingen) and the UK (Queen Mary University of London), where he held a reader position in Astrophysics teaching at undergraduate and Master’s level (Physics, electromagnetic radiation for astrophysics). He is now the coordinator of the module “Planets of the Solar System and Exoplanets: Life in the Universe” at ICE, and is (co) supervising PhD students in interdisciplinary projects involving machine learning techniques and exoplanet observations.
