About
Tushar Bhudia is an emerging leader in exoplanetary science, with a focus on the precise characterisation and ephemeris refinement of transiting exoplanets. Their most impactful work, “Original Research by Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS): ephemeris refinement of transiting exoplanets” (2020, 36 citations), demonstrates a pioneering approach to addressing critical gaps in transit timing. By leveraging a fully robotic ground-based telescope network, citizen astronomer observations, and data from the TESS mission, Bhudia’s research reduces transit time uncertainties from over ten minutes to mere seconds. This contribution is vital for ensuring the accuracy of future atmospheric studies and follow-up observations with next-generation facilities like the James Webb Space Telescope. Beyond the technical achievement, Bhudia is notable for championing inclusive, student-led research through the ORBYTS programme, which empowers young scientists to make genuine contributions to professional astronomy. Their work not only advances our understanding of exoplanet orbits but also sets a powerful example of how collaborative, open-science models can accelerate discovery and train the next generation of researchers.
