Dr Ben Montet

Back to

I am interested in problems related to detecting and characterising planets around nearby stars as well as understanding the evolution of stellar magnetic activity, such as starspots and flares, on these stars. I use data from space-based facilities like NASA's Kepler and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) missions, as well as ground-based facilities in Australia and abroad. To answer these questions, I am interested in applying machine learning techniques and other statistical methods to the large data sets that are available and those that will become available in the coming years.

I joined the UNSW School of Physics in October, 2019, where I lead the NEarby Worlds and Their Stars (NEWTS) research group. I am looking to work with students at all career stages, and am happy to discuss current projects and future plans with students interested in pursuing research in exoplanets or stellar astrophysics. If you are interested in joining our group as an undergraduate researcher, Honours student, or PhD student please send an email describing your research experience and attaching your CV and transcript.

You can read more about my research and interests on my website.

I am the PI of the eleanor project, a NASA-funded program to produce public light curves and software tools to interact with data from the NASA TESS mission. This work has been led by a graduate student at the University of Chicago (my previous institution). We have plans to make technical improvements to the software in the coming years, and I am also looking to work with additional students on various science projects with the resultant data.

I am currently a Scientia Fellow at the University of New South Wales.

My Research Supervision

I am working together with both undergraduate and graduate students on research projects. You can read about these students and the projects we are undertaking on our group's website.
