Ignas Juodžbalis

Ignas Juodžbalis is a Research Fellow at the Cavendish Astrophysics group within the Department of Physics (Cavendish Laboratory) at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Battcock Centre for Experimental Astrophysics. Based in Room K35 of the Kavli Building, he contributes to the School of the Physical Sciences' research ecosystem alongside the Institute of Astronomy and Kavli Institute for Cosmology.

His research focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, particularly through Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) studies using the James Webb Space Telescope's MIRI instrument. Specializing in mid-infrared observations of nearby AGN, he investigates black hole activity and galactic evolution within the broader context of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology. His work leverages cutting-edge facilities like JWST to explore infrared diversity in galactic nuclei.

Dr. Juodžbalis actively participates in the academic community with scheduled seminar presentations, including a featured talk on “Mid-Infrared diversity in nearby AGN: New insights from JWST/MIRI” in August 2025. His research aligns with Cavendish Astrophysics' major projects including ALMA, HERA, and REACH, contributing to radio cosmology and large-scale structure studies.
