About
Ibrahim Najmudin is an astrophysicist specializing in exoplanetary science, with a particular focus on the ephemeris refinement of transiting exoplanets. His work is central to improving the accuracy of transit timing predictions, which are critical for follow-up observations and the characterization of exoplanetary systems. Najmudin’s most cited paper, "Original Research by Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS): ephemeris refinement of transiting exoplanets" (2020, 36 citations), exemplifies his commitment to both scientific precision and educational outreach. This study utilized a combination of fully robotic ground-based telescopes, citizen astronomer observations, and data from the TESS mission to refine transit times for exoplanets with large uncertainties or those unobserved for over three years. By reducing timing errors, his research enables more efficient scheduling of space- and ground-based observatories, directly supporting the broader exoplanet community. Notably, the ORBYTS program integrates young students into real research, reflecting Najmudin’s dedication to mentoring the next generation of scientists. His contributions have enhanced the reliability of exoplanet ephemerides, making him a key figure in the ongoing effort to characterize distant worlds.
