Studying the filamentary sub-structure of star-forming clouds in our Galaxy

In the early 2010's, a new era of star formation research was sparked when observations from the Herschel Space Observatory revealed that Galactic molecular clouds are universally permeated by elongated filamentary structures. Read more

Never Forgetting Evolutionary Algorithms

Evolutionary algorithms are a class of optimisers that aim at solving difficult problems in black-box settings. Most of them are population-based, that is, they maintain more than one candidate solution. Read more

Lunar Impact Flash Studies and Fresh Crater Detection

A brief flash of light is emitted whenever a meteoroid slams into the surface of the Moon. These have been videoed from the Earth-based telescopes, but from 2028 onwards will also be detected from the ESA LUMIO space mission, which the department is participating in. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr T Cook
