About
Dr. Jessy Creswell is an astronomer dedicated to refining our understanding of exoplanetary systems through precise observational follow-up. Their key research areas include exoplanet transit photometry, ephemeris refinement, and the characterization of hot Jupiters. Dr. Creswell’s major contribution lies in their leadership of the Original Research By Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS) program, a pioneering initiative that pairs professional astronomers with high school students to conduct publishable research. Their most-cited work, "Ephemeris Refinement of Transiting Exoplanets II" (2020, 10 citations), exemplifies this approach, presenting refined orbital parameters for four transiting exoplanets—TRES-2 b, HAT-P-22 b, HAT-P-36 b, and XO-2 b—using data from the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. By improving transit timing predictions, this work enables more efficient scheduling for future space missions like JWST and Twinkle. Beyond its scientific value, the ORBYTS program has been celebrated for democratizing access to authentic research, inspiring the next generation of scientists. Dr. Creswell’s impact extends beyond citation counts, demonstrating how mentorship and open science can advance both exoplanet science and STEM education.
