PhD student in astrophysics, University of Montreal
Louis-Philippe Coulombe is an astrophysics Ph.D. student at the University of Montreal. He studies physics at the same university and earned a bachelor's degree in 2019. In 2021, he earned a master's degree in astrophysics from the same university. Louis-Philippe's undergraduate research focused on the characterization of materials using nuclear resonance analysis, as well modeling for a dark matter detector. He is pursuing a doctorate on the instrumental effects that constrain what atmospheric characteristics of exoplanets can be pulled from data. His master's degree project focused on producing 2-D atmospheric maps of exoplanets from secondary eclipse data. You can follow Louis-Philippe's latest science writing at The Conversation.
