Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Morrell is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow bridging astrophysics and environmental science with nine years' experience in observational astrophysics, computational modelling, and high-performance/cloud software engineering. He developed novel stellar characterisation methods during his PhD and now applies astrophysical analysis techniques to quantify ecological impacts of artificial light at night while managing a cross-disciplinary research programme. Alongside university teaching and occasional lecturing, he leads development and maintenance of HPC and cloud products for MaxLLG, combining domain research with production-grade simulation software. Known for crafting “fine code” and an interest in science education, he brings a rare mix of observational astronomy rigor, software engineering discipline, and practical pedagogy to collaborative research.
