About
Dr. Fabiana Monteiro is an astrophysicist whose research centers on exoplanet characterization and the refinement of planetary ephemerides. Her most impactful work involves the precise measurement of transiting exoplanets, essential for understanding their orbital dynamics and physical properties. Dr. Monteiro’s major contribution lies in her leadership of the Original Research By Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS) program, a pioneering initiative that pairs professional researchers with secondary school students to conduct publishable science. Her most-cited paper, “Ephemeris Refinement of Transiting Exoplanets II” (2020, 10 citations), exemplifies this approach, presenting follow-up observations of four exoplanets—TRES-2 b, HAT-P-22 b, HAT-P-36 b, and XO-2 b—using the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. This work not only improved orbital parameters but also demonstrated that student-led research can yield high-quality data. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Monteiro is recognized for democratizing science and training the next generation of astronomers. Her achievements highlight the power of collaborative, educational research in advancing exoplanet science.
