Dr John Ilee (School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leeds) on Understanding the chemical origins of the earth, using the James Webb Space Telescope
John Ilee is an astrophysicist who studies star and planet formation, using the most advanced telescopes and state-of-the-art computer models. His research extends to exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) and the physics and chemistry of protoplanetary discs, where new planets are formed.
Dr Ilee will talk about his research, including his use of the James Webb Space Telescope to understand the formation of our own planet.
The meeting will be in-person at Seven Arts, 31A Harrogate Road, Leeds LS7 3PD. It will not be broadcast over Zoom.

Cafe Sci Leeds was set up to encourage understanding and debate about topical scientific research and issues in an informal setting. Speakers are invited to present a short talk on an area of science in which they have been involved which is then followed by questions and comments.
