Sergio Hoyer
CHEOPS Postdoc
I am a postdoc at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) in France. Since March 2017, I have been working on the Data Reduction Pipeline of the ESA CHEOPS mission (Characterising Exoplanets Satellite) which was launched in December 2019.
My research focuses on studies of extrasolar planets, mainly using high precision photometry and spectroscopy. In particular, I work with Transiting Exoplanets in projects related with Transit Timing Variations (TTVs), characterization of exoplanets and atmospheric studies via transmission spectroscopy and secondary transit observations.
I am also a member of the TraMoS project (Transits Monitoring from the South) where we conduct a series of transit follow-up observations using ground-based telescopes located in Chile.
