معرفی
Jens Hoeijmakers is an Associate Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at Lund University, specializing in astrophysics with a focus on exoplanet atmospheres and transmission spectroscopy. He is a Principal Investigator in the eSSENCE collaboration, contributing to projects like the ANDES spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). His research explores atmospheric composition, dynamics, and chemistry of exoplanets, particularly ultra-hot Jupiters, using advanced instruments such as ESPRESSO and CRIRES+. He investigates topics like titanium chemistry, volatile/refractory ratios, and atmospheric oxidation processes, with implications for planetary habitability and formation. Collaborations include studies of exoplanet transits, stellar abundances, and the development of observational techniques for future missions.
Key research interests include high-resolution spectroscopy, exoplanet dynamics, and the application of machine learning to spectral analysis. Notable projects include the HEARTS survey (Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy), the Mantis Network for template-based analyses, and the Hot Rocks Survey to study terrestrial exoplanets. His work bridges observational astrophysics with theoretical models, advancing understanding of planetary atmospheres and their evolution.
Publications highlight contributions to exoplanet atmospheric characterization, including studies of WASP-121b, KELT-9b, and WASP-189b. He actively participates in international collaborations, leveraging cutting-edge instruments and methodologies to push the frontiers of exoplanet science.
