Emeritus Professor Chris Tinney specializes in Exoplanetary Science and is the head of the Exoplanetary Science research group at the Australian Centre for Astrobiology within the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales. He has an extensive background in astronomy, having earned his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in 1993 and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from the University of Sydney in 1987. His research is centered around the discovery and study of exoplanets—particularly Earth-like planets and cool, low-mass bodies known as brown dwarfs. Tinney's work involves using the UNSW-led Veloce instrument to understand the masses and densities of potentially habitable planets discovered by NASA's TESS satellite. Over the years, he has collaborated with various observatories and universities across Australia, Europe, the USA, and Chile, focusing on relevant research projects aiming to enhance our understanding of star and planet formation, as well as the habitability of environments both locally and throughout the Universe.
