Nate Bastian

Nate Bastian is a Honorary Visiting Professor at the Astrophysics Research Institute, Liverpool John Moores University. His research focuses on the formation and evolution of star clusters, globular clusters, and their connections to galaxy assembly and dark matter halos.

• Key areas: Globular Clusters, Multiple Populations, Binary Stars, Black Hole Detection, Dark Matter Tracing
• Email: N.J.Bastian@ljmu.ac.uk

Recent publications highlight his work with the E-MOSAICS simulations to study globular cluster populations, their kinematics, and their role in reconstructing galaxy merger histories. He has also contributed to understanding the physics of globular cluster mass functions and nitrogen variations in star clusters.

Scientific awards include a Royal Society grant for his work on globular cluster formation and evolution in cosmological contexts.
