Ivan Baldry

Ivan Baldry is a Professor at the Astrophysics Research Institute of Liverpool John Moores University, with a career focused on galaxy formation and cosmology. His work spans large-scale surveys like GAMA, XXL, and Euclid, emphasizing photometric redshifts, stellar mass functions, and galaxy environment interactions.

• PhD in Astrophysics from University of Sydney (1995-1999)

Research interests center on galaxy evolution, cosmic star formation, and observational cosmology, with significant contributions to understanding galaxy bimodality and low-surface-brightness systems. His work integrates multi-wavelength data (UV to radio) and advanced clustering techniques.

Key publications include studies on galaxy mass-size relations, star formation rate indicators, and the cosmic spectral energy distribution. He co-authored over a dozen GAMA project papers and contributed to Euclid mission frameworks.
