Andrew Cameron

Andrew Cameron is a Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews, and a founding member of the St Andrews Centre for Exoplanet Science. His research focuses on stellar magnetic fields and extrasolar planet discovery, particularly through radial-velocity and transit methods.

• Education: B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Physics/Astronomy from University of Canterbury
• Key Projects: Principal Investigator for the €9.5m ERC Synergy Grant 'REVEALing Habitable Worlds', Co-I of the WASP project, UK Co-PI for the HARPS-North spectrograph, and member of the CHEOPS satellite science team

Research Trends: Recent publications emphasize M dwarf stars, super-Earths, and overcoming stellar activity noise in radial-velocity measurements. His work spans from 2013 datasets on hot Jupiters to 2025 studies on Earth-mass planet detection techniques.

Scientific Recognition:

• Elected Royal Society of Edinburgh (2002)
• George Darwin Lectureship (2012)
• RAS Group Achievement Award for WASP (2010)

Teaching: Developed exoplanet courses and advanced data analysis modules. Currently teaches observational astrophysics and stellar structure.
