About Us

The Centre for Space Exochemistry Data grew out of the Physics and Astronomy department at 果冻影院 in November 2018, with key contributors from other departments in MAPS (Computer Science and MSSL). Now in its third year, the centre is based in the Harwell Science Campus and aims to bridge the gap between astrophysics, space engineering, computer science, machine learning and industry.

In just 20 years, research into the formation of planets, stars and galaxies throughout the universe has reached a level of maturity where major investments through space-missions, national and international grants and industry are now being realised.

The Centre for Space Exochemistry Data grew听out of the Exoplanet and Extragalactic Astrophysics Groups at 果冻影院 in November 2018. The Centre is based within听the听, a strategic location that facilitates intersections with public organisations, including听,听,听听and leading private听companies from the space听sector听and start-ups. CSED听aims to bridge the gap between astrophysics, space engineering, computer science, machine learning and industry.

CSED is an accelerator of the connection between the academic听environment and other sectors that will attract private听investments. It serves as an incubator for听disruptive ideas to create spin-offs and develop partnerships in the industrial domain. To date, two successful start-ups have been created for the commercial exploitation of 果冻影院 exoplanet-related activities.听CSED members are also part of the Centre of Planetary Sciences at 果冻影院/Birkbeck.

The听inspirational nature of exoplanet and extragalactic science attracts the best students and young minds from all over听the world. The intersectorial environment of CSED prepares a new听generation of highly-qualified leaders and managers in scientific, technical听and business areas.

CSED fosters educational initiatives听connected to exoplanet science and STEM, including plans for a national and international roll-out of the successful听听and听听programmes听currently run in the London听area.
