Planetary scientist, astronomer, lecturer at Queen's University Belfast
Welcome
Hi! I’m Meg Schwamb (preferred pronouns: she/her). I am currently a Reader (equivalent to a new Professor in US system) in the
Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC) and the
School of Mathematics and Physics at
Queen's University Belfast (QUB) in the UK.
I am interested in the fundamental questions of how our Solar System and others formed and evolved as well as
exploring the process of planet formation. My expertise is in big data for planetary astronomy, focusing in
particular on studying the small body populations in the Solar System, exploring seasonal processes on Mars,
exoplanet detection, and applying citizen science to mine large datasets for Solar System science.
