Professor Alison Monica Laird is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of York, within the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology. She holds academic roles including Third Year Tutor and Admissions Tutor. Her expertise lies in nuclear astrophysics and nuclear reactions, with research focusing on stellar nucleosynthesis and massive star evolution.
Education: BSc and PhD from the University of Edinburgh. Teaching includes 1st-year Mechanics and 4th-year Nuclear Astrophysics courses. She leads research projects such as the Nuclear Physics Consolidated Grant (2024-2027) and studies neutron detector development. Her work integrates nuclear physics with astrophysical observations to understand element formation in stars.
Recent research highlights include measuring weak r-process reactions on radioactive nuclei and modeling wind mass loss impacts on massive star nucleosynthesis. She collaborates internationally and contributes to datasets like those analyzing very massive star yields.
