Martin Haehnelt

Professor Martin Haehnelt is affiliated with the University of Cambridge, where he serves as Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics at the Institute of Astronomy. His research spans galaxy formation, supermassive black holes, reionization, and the intergalactic medium.

• Current roles: Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics
• Affiliation: Institute of Astronomy, Faculty of Physics & Chemistry, University of Cambridge
• College: St John's College

Research interests include:

• Galaxy formation and evolution
• Supermassive black hole dynamics
• Reionization processes
• Intergalactic medium (IGM) studies
• 21-cm cosmology and Lyman-alpha forest
• High-resolution spectrograph instrumentation (e.g., CODEX, ELT/ANDES)

Recent publications focus on reionization timing, Lyman-alpha forest constraints, cosmic ray feedback, and simulations like Sherwood–Relics and SPHINX-MHD. Key keywords include cosmology, astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and data-driven models.

Scientific awards include leading the ERC Advanced Grant 'The Emergence of Structure during the Epoch of Reionization.'
