John Stott

Dr. John Stott is a Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics at the Physics Department, Lancaster University. His research focuses on galaxy evolution in dense environments, particularly the transformation of star-forming galaxies in galaxy clusters, and the application of artificial intelligence to astronomical data analysis.

• Current projects: LSST: UK Data Release Processing, ICECOMM: AI for Iceberg Detection
• Key collaborations: Data Science Institute, Observational Astrophysics Group

Research Interests include:

• Galaxy quenching mechanisms in massive clusters
• Environmental effects on galaxy formation
• AI applications in astronomy and maritime safety
• Multi-telescope observational campaigns (Hubble, James Webb, LSST)

Recent Publications highlight studies of:

• High-redshift emission-line galaxies
• Environmental quenching in cosmic filaments
• Galaxy cluster scaling relations
• Deep learning for astrophysical data analysis
