معرفی
Christian Schwab is an Associate Professor at Macquarie University, affiliated with the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Astrophysics and Space Technologies Research Centre. His research focuses on exoplanet detection, spectroscopic techniques, and astrophotonics, particularly in developing high-precision instruments like spectrographs to identify Earth-like planets. He leads and collaborates on projects such as the NEID Earth Twin Survey and the MARVEL radial velocity facility.
Key research interests include radial velocity methods, spectrograph calibration, and the study of planetary systems around low-mass stars. Schwab has contributed to over 200 publications, with recent work emphasizing exoplanet orbital dynamics, stellar parameter estimation, and instrument design. He received the Faculty of Science and Engineering Award for Excellence in Learning Innovation in 2021.
His projects involve collaborations across institutions to advance exoplanet science, including work on the iLocater spectrograph and the Large Fiber Array Spectroscopic Telescope (LFAST). These efforts aim to improve precision in detecting small planets and understanding planetary formation mechanisms.
