Stijn Wuyts

Stijn Wuyts is a Professor in the Department of Physics Astrophysics at the University of Bath. His research focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, utilizing multi-wavelength observations from major telescopes to study star formation, galactic structures, and dark matter interactions. He holds a PhD in Astronomy (Leiden University, 2007) and has held postdoctoral roles at Harvard University and the Max Planck Institute. Active in grants, he leads projects like 'New pathways to model galaxies in 3D' (Royal Society) and 'Astrophysics at Bath 2023-2026' (STFC). He supervises doctoral students and frequently engages in public outreach through lectures and workshops.
