Benjamin Cooke is a Research Fellow in the Astronomy Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick, where he is affiliated with the Centre for Space Domain Awareness. His research focuses on developing GPU-assisted pipelines to detect satellite debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). He utilizes a method known as blind stacking to identify moving objects across a series of stationary frames. Benjamin's doctoral research involved simulation, detection, and characterization of monotransits as part of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, supervised by Professor Don Pollacco. His notable publications include studies on classifying LEO satellites and predicting RSO populations using innovative techniques. He has contributed to a broad range of projects in astrophysics and has presented his findings at various academic conferences. His work enhances our understanding of space debris and transit phenomena, which are vital for advancements in observational astronomy.
