Amaury Triaud

In 2011 Amaury Triaud graduated with a PhD in physics. He went on to hold research positions at MIT, the University of Toronto and the University of Cambridge, before joining the University of Birmingham in 2017 as a Birmingham Fellow and Lecturer. Having already shown a wide range of research interests during this thesis at the University of Geneva, he has since continued to expand his expertise beyond his original field of exoplanets. Amaury's research has been featured in numerous press releases, relayed by major media around the world.

In 2018, he received a start-up grant from the European Research Council to study circumbinary exoplanets. In 2020, the Royal Astronomical Society awarded him the Fowler Prize for early achievements in astronomy and, in the same year, Amaury was selected as a finalist for the Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in the UK. In 2020, he was appointed Professor of Exoplanetology.
