About
C. A. Haswell is a leading figure in exoplanetary science, best known for her pivotal role in the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) project. Her research focuses on the detection and characterization of exoplanets, particularly hot Jupiters, and the study of their atmospheres and host stars. A major contribution is her work on the WASP project, a pair of wide-angle robotic telescopes that have revolutionized the discovery of transiting exoplanets. Her 2006 paper, "The WASP project in the era of robotic telescope networks," has garnered 5 citations and laid the groundwork for a new era of automated, large-scale exoplanet surveys. Haswell’s impact extends beyond discovery; she has been instrumental in using these findings to probe planetary atmospheres, revealing signatures of sodium, potassium, and other elements. Her achievements include leading the SuperWASP consortium’s operations and mentoring a generation of astronomers. With a career spanning over two decades, Haswell’s work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own.
