معرفی
Beatriz Campos Estrada is a Research Fellow in the APEx department at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany.
Education:
- Joint PhD in Astrophysics from University of Copenhagen (Denmark) and Graz University of Technology (Austria), completed October 2024 through CHAMELEON Marie-Curie ITN
Her research focuses on connecting theoretical atmospheric models to observational data for exoplanets and brown dwarfs, specializing in retrieval framework development, cloud formation physics, and atmospheric escape processes. Current work validates retrieval accuracy using GCM simulations for variable brown dwarfs and directly imaged planets while investigating composition constraints for small exoplanets.
Publication trends (2020-2025) reveal concentrated expertise in atmospheric retrieval methodologies (notably the MSG model), cloud microphysics in sub-stellar objects, and evaporative mass loss in rocky exoplanets, with significant contributions to interpreting JWST observations and modeling complex atmospheric variability.
