About
Vigneshwaran Krishnamurthy is a Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University, focusing on exoplanet atmospheric studies and novel spectroscopic techniques. He holds a doctoral degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology (2021) and previously conducted research at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ).
His work emphasizes the formation and evolution of atmospheres in young exoplanets, employing high-resolution spectroscopy via instruments like IRD/Subaru Telescope and the Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS) on ESO’s 3.6-m telescope. He is developing methods to correct telluric lines in near-infrared spectra, enhancing data robustness for exoplanet analysis.
Key research areas include exoplanet characterization, stellar astrophysics, and improving observational techniques to uncover atmospheric compositions. His interdisciplinary approach bridges observational data with theoretical models to understand planetary evolution.
