Michael Keith

Dr. Michael Keith is a Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics at the University of Manchester's Astronomy and Astrophysics Theory Group. His research focuses on pulsar timing arrays, gravitational wave detection, and neutron star physics. He collaborates extensively with international teams like the European Pulsar Timing Array and uses facilities such as MeerKAT and LIGO.

Key areas include studying millisecond pulsars, pulsar glitches, and the interstellar medium. His work contributes to understanding gravitational wave backgrounds and fundamental physics through precision timing. Recent projects involve analyzing pulsar data from the International Pulsar Timing Array and exploring axion dark matter effects using pulsar observations.

Keith has published over 123 articles in journals like the Astrophysical Journal and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. His research is supported by grants involving collaborations with institutions worldwide, including NASA, LIGO, and MeerKAT projects.
