Nicholas Borsato
From Sweden to Australia, I'm on a quest to unveil the secrets of alien atmospheres.

As a Cotutelle PhD student at Lund University and Macquarie University, I specialise in the study of exoplanet atmospheres, particularly those of hot, close-in transiting exoplanets. Utilising complex statistical methods, I aim to maximise the information gleaned from telescopic data.
