David V Martin Exoplanets

​I am a Fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation at THE Ohio State University. I work to discover and understand planets around other stars, which we call exoplanets, and also the stars themselves. I'm particularly interested when there is not just one star but two, and a planet around them called a circumbinary planet. 

Before coming to OSU I was a postdoc at the University of Chicago for two years. At the end of 2020 I will commence a Sagan fellowship at OSU.

​Beyond astrophysics... I'm a bit of a sports nut. I played and watched cricket and Australian Football (Aussie Rules) since I was a kid. In a colder climate I now play ice hockey, albeit rather poorly.

I play guitar and drums from time to time, love listening to heavy metal, classic rock, classical piano. Travelling, video games (playing and creating), cooking (sometimes well), science outreach...
