Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of St. Andrews, UK
Includes clear explanations, making it easy to read and accessible to a broad audience with minimum scientific background knowledge
Presents a new, state-of-the-art technique that is expected to become mainstream in planet-hunting research over the next few years
Demonstrates that the radial-velocity variations mainly arise from suppression of photospheric convection by magnetic fields. This finding represents a significant step towards measuring the masses of potentially habitable planets orbiting Sun-like stars
