Richard Stancliffe

Dr. Richard Stancliffe is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol's School of Physics, specializing in astrophysics and physics education. His research focuses on stellar nucleosynthesis, binary star evolution, and galactic chemical evolution.

• Current Roles: Senior Lecturer, University of Bristol
• Research Themes: Astrophysics, Physics Education Group

Research Interests:
Dr. Stancliffe investigates nucleosynthetic processes in stars, particularly s-process and i-process elements, Type Ia supernovae progenitors, and binary system interactions. His work combines theoretical modeling with observational data analysis.

Recent Research Trends:
Recent publications highlight his focus on intermediate-mass AGB stars, radioactive isotope production (e.g., 26Al), and the interplay between binary interactions and stellar evolution. He also explores computational methods for simulating proton ingestion episodes and thermohaline mixing.

Collaborations & Datasets:
He contributes to collaborative projects like Monash Chemical Yields and ThaiPASS educational outreach. His 2023 dataset on isotopic yields provides crucial data for pre-Solar system composition studies.
