Research summary
AI-generated

Marcelo Tala Pinto works in observational astronomy and astrophysics, focusing on the detection and characterization of exoplanets, brown dwarfs, and multi-planet systems using telescopes and spectrographs such as TESS, WINE, and PLATOSpec. Much of the research involves finding and measuring the properties of gas-giant planets, warm Jupiters, and eclipsing binaries orbiting other stars, often through large collaborative surveys. Prospective students would be exposed to instrumentation work, transit and radial-velocity data analysis, and large-scale exoplanet survey collaborations.
