معرفی
Christina Schoettler is a postdoctoral Research Associate in Astrophysics at the Lennard-Jones School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Keele University. She transitioned from industry to academia after moving to the UK, earning a part-time BSc in Physical Sciences (2014) and MSc in Astrophysics (2017) before completing a full-time PhD in Astronomy at the University of Sheffield (2022). Her research focuses include star cluster formation, exoplanet system dynamics, Gaia data analysis, and N-body simulations.
- Education: BSc (Hons) in Physical Sciences (2014, part-time), MSc in Astrophysics (2017, part-time), PhD in Astronomy (2022, full-time)
Her research explores how stellar birth environments shape planetary systems, with a focus on dynamical interactions, ejected stars, and computational modeling. She has contributed to studies leveraging Gaia data to trace the evolution of star-forming regions and planetary orbit stability.
She has been recognized through the PREP 2018 Bursary and serves as a Co-Investigator for high-performance computing projects under the STFC DiRAC facility. Her publications in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society highlight her contributions to understanding stellar and planetary co-evolution.
Teaching roles include lab demonstrator positions at Sheffield and London institutions, and she supervises student projects. She is associated with Keele University's Physics and Astrophysics department since 2024.
