University of Exeter student awarded grant to study exoplanet climates
University of Exeter astrophysics student Mei Ting Mak has been awarded one of this year’s prestigious grants from the Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund.
PhD student Mei Ting has received a grant of £35,000 to investigate the impact of various aerosols on the climate of exoplanets.
Exoplanets are now known to be ubiquitous. Amongst the thousands already detected, many candidates with potentially Earth-like or habitable conditions have been identified.
However, planetary climates can be drastically altered by the presence of non-gas phase species or aerosols in the atmosphere, such as condensate clouds, photochemically produced hazes or mineral dust. – which can play major role in controlling the planetary climate.

Science and technology empower people to change the world. At Arduino, we work every day to make them simple and accessible to anyone regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, background, nationality, and sexuality. Unfortunately, not all contributions are given the same visibility, that’s why we are celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science by highlighting six scientists who were not honored enough for their achievements. Giving these women the visibility they deserve, we hope to inspire our community to innovate in a more inclusive way and to create a better future together.
