Beatriz Campos Estrada, PhD

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Atmospheric Physics of Exoplanets (APEx) department at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, where I am part of the atmospheric modelling and retrievals group.

My major research interest lies in linking theory to observations of exoplanets via different modelling techniques. My experience spans testing atmospheric escape models for sub-Neptunes, constraining the compositions of small exoplanets, and modelling the atmospheres of directly imaged planets and brown dwarfs with complex cloud formation.

I hold a joint PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) and the Graz University of Technology (Austria), completed in October 2024 as part of the CHAMELEON Marie-Curie innovative training network.
