- David_Ciardi abstract "David Robert Ciardi (born 1969) is an American astronomer. He received a bachelor's degree in physics and astronomy from Boston University in 1991, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wyoming in 1997.Dr. Ciardi has published refereed journal articles across a wide range of topics, including exoplanets, star formation, interstellar dust, molecular clouds, and evolved stars. His observations of Vega using long-baseline interferometry with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer were the first to spatially resolve the debris disk around this star and to show that dust was present within 1 AU of the star - akin to the interplanetary dust in our own Solar System that produces the zodiacal light. This work led to the discovery of dust in the inner regions around other stars and leading to the discovery of a gap between the inner dust ring and the outer dust ring in many systems - the existence of which is still not understood. Dr. Ciardi is a member of the Kepler Science Team and using data from the Kepler mission, Dr. Ciardi has published landmark works on the fundamental nature of stellar variability and the relative sizes of planets in multi-planet systems and has contributed to more than 100 exoplanet discovery papers, including being the principal investigator of the Palomar Transient Factory Orion Transit Survey and co-discoverer of the first transiting planet around a newly formed T Tauri star in the 3 million year old star cluster surrounding 25 Orionis.Dr. Ciardi completed his PhD at the University of Wyoming in 1997, and remained in Laramie for another year as a post-doctoral fellow. He left Wyoming to become a post-doc for Dr. Elizabeth Lada at the University of Florida, ostensibly to work on the Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) mission. The unfortunate failure of WIRE's main telescope immediately following launch sidetracked that research path, however; Dr. Ciardi remained at Florida and became a staff member with the infrared instrumentation group where he worked on an array of infrared instruments, including T-ReCS for the 8m telescope Gemini South and CanariCam for the 10m Gran Telescopio Canarias. In 2002, Dr. Ciardi took a staff astronomer position at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, and is currently a Member of the Professional Staff at Caltech andan Associate Research Astronomer at NExScI.".
