MEET THE TEAM


Nora Eisner - Project Leader and PhD Student, University of Oxford

Born in Switzerland and raised in Cambridge, I completed my Bachelor's degree at the University of Sheffield before starting a PhD in Astrophysics at the University of Oxford in 2018. At the age of 7, my life goal was to become an astronaut and to travel to distant alien worlds. Unfortunately, technology has not managed to keep up with my early life ambitions, so in the meantime I will search for exoplanetary systems from Earth in order to study some of their most exotic properties. With your help we can discover many of these worlds and find out more about the fascinating Universe that we live in.


Campbell Allen - Zooniverse Developer
Responsible for building the Zooniverse's API infrastructure. Cam considers himself a music and fine wine connoisseur - others do not. In his spare time he enjoys playing an obscure form of rugby.

Chris Lintott - Professor of Astrophysics, University of Oxford and PI of Zooniverse
Astronomer and co-founder of both Galaxy Zoo and the Zooniverse that grew from it, Chris is interested in how galaxies form and evolve, how citizen science can change the world, and whether the Chicago Fire can get their act together.

Grant Miller - Zooniverse Communications Lead
A former exoplanetary scientist, Grant is now responsible for communicating with our volunteers and researchers. He is also behind the Zooniverse's presence on social media and publishes the Daily Zooniverse blog.

Kathryn Jones - MPhys Student, University of Oxford
Physics and Astrophysics master student studying at the University of Oxford.

Meg Schwamb - Researcher
Meg is a planetary scientist and astronomer involved in the Planet Four projects, and Comet Hunters for which she is project scientist. She studies small bodies in the Solar System, exoplanets, and Mars. Meg has a fondness for baking, soccer, and champagne.

Shaun Noordin - Zooniverse Developer
Shaun was raised by Nintendo consoles and somehow transformed his love for video games into a love for creating interactive experiences. When not at his PC playing games or reading comics, he's at his PC studying web design and coding experimental apps.

Suzanne Aigrain - Professor of Astrophysics, University of Oxford
Suzanne's research focuses on the detection and characterisation of extra-solar planets and their atmospheres, stellar variability and its impact for exoplanet detection and evolution, and the Bayesian analysis of astrophysical time-series.
