Prof Robert Crain

Astrophysics Research Institute

Faculty of Engineering and Technology

I am a Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics at the Astrophysics Research Institute of Liverpool John Moores University. I am the institute's Head of Research, I am the academic lead of the university's central high performance computing (HPC) facility, Prospero, and sit on the university's research committee as a member of its technology group. I am currently national chair of the DiRAC network's astronomy & cosmology panel.

My personal webpage can be found at https://www.astro.ljmu.ac.uk/~astrcrai.

My research focusses on the formation of galaxies, and their dynamic co-evolution with their gaseous environments. Most commonly, I approach these studies using large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy populations, conducted on world-leading supercomputing facilities. These ‘synthetic universes’, evolved from the Big Bang to the present day, are the astrophysicist’s analogue of laboratory experiments; they enable us to study the complex processes that shape the properties of galaxies and their environments, and that ultimately govern the nature of the galaxy population we observe around us.

For my research I was a recipient of the Royal Astronomical Society's Group Award in 2022. I was also named in Clarivate's "Highly Cited Researchers" list in 2021 and again in 2023.
