Nicholas Boardman

Dr Nicholas Boardman is a Research Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of St Andrews. His research focuses on galaxy evolution, metallicity analysis, and chemical abundance patterns in star-forming systems.

• Institution: University of St Andrews
• Role: Research Fellow (Galaxy Evolution)

Boardman's work examines the interplay between star formation histories and elemental abundances, particularly oxygen, nitrogen, and stellar metallicity. He employs machine learning techniques and integral-field spectroscopy to study galactic chemical evolution and dark matter distribution.

Recent publications reveal trends in:

• Multi-task neural networks for galaxy property inference
• Star formation-driven metallicity gradients
• Dark matter content in elliptical galaxies
• Neutron-capture element origins from Gaia-ESO data
• Stellar population age vs. kinematic support
