Biography

Siddharth Gandhi is an assistant professor in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on atmospheric modeling of exoplanets, using both space and ground-based observations to constrain their properties. His ultimate goal is to study rocky, Earth-like planets in the habitable zone and the potential for biosignatures. His work addresses fundamental questions in exoplanetary science, such as how planets form, migrate, and evolve, the diverse atmospheric processes present on exoplanets, and the unique context of Solar System exoplanets. He has been involved in several projects, including the ESO SupJup Survey and has numerous publications that explore topics ranging from atmospheric variability in super-Jupiters to the chemical isotopic characterization of L-dwarfs.
