Miss Heather Fenwick Johnston (she/her)
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Physics and Astronomy
I am a research fellow funded by the Royal Society studying exoplanetary systems (PI: Sebastian Marino Estay). I am particularly interested in planet formation and the architecture and dynamics of planetary systems. I use numerical simulations to answer questions such as How do host stars influence planet formation and evolution? What is the link between protoplanetary and debris discs? What drives the rise and fall of the giant planet occurrence rate?
