Christopher Conselice

Christopher J. Conselice is a Professor of Extragalactic Astronomy at the University of Manchester, focusing on galaxy formation and evolution using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and large surveys like CANDELS and GOODS. He leads the ERC-funded EPOCHS project to study early galaxy formation during cosmic reionization. Previously, he held professorial roles at the University of Nottingham (2010–2020). He is a founding member of major collaborations, including the Euclid Consortium as a Lead Legacy Scientist, and an editor for the Astrophysical Journal's 'Galaxies and Cosmology' section.

Education: B.A. in Physics from the University of Chicago, Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Research interests include high-redshift galaxies, stellar mass functions, and galaxy structures. Key contributions involve SED modeling, ultraviolet luminosity functions, and merger rates at cosmic dawn.

Scientific awards include the Leverhulme Prize (2009) and American Astronomical Society membership (2020). His work spans observational and computational methods, with recent publications on Euclid mission preparations and JWST data analysis. Supervised 8 doctoral/master's students, though specific names are unlisted.

External roles include Visiting Professor at the University of Nottingham and leadership in international surveys like PEARLS and EPOCHS. Research outputs emphasize cosmic evolution, dark energy constraints, and morphological studies of galaxies across cosmic time.
