Patrick Weltevrede

Patrick Weltevrede is a Senior Lecturer in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Theory Group at the University of Manchester. His research combines observational and theoretical approaches to neutron star astrophysics, specializing in pulsar emission mechanisms and variability.

Primary research areas:

• Radio pulsar emission processes and polarization
• Magnetar outburst mechanisms and precession
• Pulsar glitch recovery dynamics
• Multi-wavelength studies of neutron stars

Recent publications focus on advanced Bayesian techniques for pulsar timing analysis and multi-wavelength investigations of neutron star phenomena. His work utilizes data from major facilities including LOFAR and gravitational wave observatories to probe extreme physics in neutron star magnetospheres.

He serves on time allocation committees for radio astronomy facilities and contributes to developing observational strategies for next-generation telescopes studying transient phenomena.
