David Eden

Dr. David Eden is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Bath. His research focuses on star formation processes in the Milky Way, particularly investigating how molecular clouds and galactic-scale structures influence stellar birth. He holds a PhD from Liverpool John Moores University (2013) and a Master of Physics from the University of Liverpool (2009).

Key external roles include an Öpik Fellowship at Armagh Observatory (2022–2024), and prior postdoctoral positions at Liverpool John Moores University and the Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg. His work explores topics like spiral arm impacts on star formation, magnetic field dynamics in star-forming regions, and extragalactic molecular cloud properties.

Recent publications emphasize high-resolution observations of outer Galaxy star-forming regions, magnetic field orientations in massive star-forming clouds, and the interplay between magnetic fields and galactic orbital structures.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed, but his research portfolio includes 44 total outputs with collaborations across international institutions. His studies aim to elucidate galaxy evolution mechanisms through multi-scale star formation analysis.
