About

Dr. Campante is a Research Fellow in the field of Asteroseismology, devoting most of his time to the asteroseismic investigation of solar-type stars and red giants. He is coauthor on over 30 research papers in scientific journals (including Nature and Science) in the fields of stellar physics and stellar variability.

He has been an active contributor to the asteroseismic programme of the NASA Kepler mission. He has also contributed to the analysis of targets observed by the CoRoT space mission or during ground-based campaigns.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Astronomy, Universidade do Porto (Portugal), 2012
  • BSc in Physics/Applied Mathematics, Universidade do Porto (Portugal), 2007

Biography

Tiago Campante qualified with a BSc in Physics/Applied Mathematics from the Universidade do Porto (Portugal) in 2007. He went on to study for a PhD in Astronomy at the same University, having spent half of his doctoral studies at Aarhus Universitet (Denmark). In 2012, shortly after concluding his PhD (with distinction), he joined the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham as a Research Fellow in the field of Asteroseismology.

Research

  • Stellar structure and evolution
  • Asteroseismology of solar-type stars and red giants
  • Statistical inference applied to asteroseismology (Bayesian approach vs. frequentist approach)

Other activities
