Dr Lucyna Kedziora-ChudczerLucyna will talk and discuss the conditions for habitability and the basic requirements for life as we know it. She will also talk about the potentially habitable places in our S olar system and describe the methods that can be used to detect life on ext rasolar planets.
Dr Lucyna Kedziora-ChudczerLucyna Kedziora-Chudczer was born in Pol and, where she studied astronomy at the Jagellonian University in Krakow. A fter she received her Master Degree, she moved to Australia and completed h er PhD on the radio variability of Active Galactic Nuclei at the University of Sydney in 1999. At the same year she became the AAO/ATNF Research Fello w at the Anglo Australian Observatory studying polarization properties and monitoring the intraday variable quasars. In 2003 she moved to the Universi ty of Sydney, where she was offered a position of the Harry Messel Research Fellow, and continued her work on both the polarization of compact radio s ources and properties of our local Galactic Interstellar Medium. During thi s time, she also taught undergraduate courses and mentored the PhD students .
In 2009 she accepted a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the UNSW in the a rea of planetary and exo-planetary science. She is a member of the Australi an Centre for Astrobiology. Her interests include the spectroscopy and pola rimetry observations of exoplanets, as well as the modelling of planetary a tmospheres. During her research at the UNSW she was involved in the design and construction of the High Precision Polarimetric Instrument (HIPPI) used at the Anglo Australian Telescope for observations of exoplanets and brigh t stars. In 2019 she accepted position of the Program Manager at Astronomy Australia Limited. She continues her research in planetary astronomy as an Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Southern Queensland.
