Adam Watts

Adam Watts is a Visiting Professor at the School of Physics, Maths and Computing, The University of Western Australia. His research focuses on galaxy evolution, particularly environmental effects on cold gas dynamics in clusters like Virgo.

Research Interests: Using observational data (e.g., SAMI-Hi, VERTICO) and machine learning (GalProTE), he investigates

• Star formation suppression in clusters
• HI gas distribution and asymmetry
• Ionized vs neutral hydrogen gas interactions
• Galaxy rotation curves and stellar mass

.

Key Publications: Recent work includes studies on bipolar outflows (MAUVE, 2024), environmental evolution of cold gas (VERTICO V, 2023), and H I asymmetry datasets (IllustrisTNG, xGASS, 2020). His articles often integrate multi-wavelength data and computational methods.
