معرفی
Charles Cadieux is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx) at the University of Montreal since March 2025. He completed his PhD in astrophysics at the same institute under René Doyon’s supervision between 2020 and 2025. His research focuses on developing data analysis tools for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), particularly using the NIRISS instrument to study exoplanet transmission spectra and atmospheric composition.
Key projects include analyzing LHS 1140 b (a super-Earth in the habitable zone) and revealing potential nitrogen-rich atmospheres, contributing to evidence about water-rich 'ocean worlds' around M-type stars. He collaborates with the NIRPS consortium to measure exoplanet masses in the solar neighborhood. His work bridges transit and radial velocity methods, emphasizing planetary structure and atmospheric diversity.
He has contributed to the SPIRou Legacy Survey, analyzing M dwarf stars and planetary systems. His findings highlight the prevalence of volatile-rich exoplanets and migration patterns. His publications span JWST analysis, SPIRou instrumentation, and exoplanet atmospheric characterization.
