Stephen Feeney, Ph.D.

Flatiron Research Fellow, Center for Computational Astrophysics

Bio

Stephen Feeney is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London (UCL). Prior to this he was a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York and a postdoctoral researcher in the Astrophysics Group at Imperial College London, after having gained a PhD under the supervision of Professor Hiranya Peiris at UCL. Feeney’s research interests include observational cosmology, the cosmic microwave background, early-universe physics, and physical applications of Bayesian probability theory and likelihood-free inference.

When neutron stars collide, they emit light and gravitational waves, as seen in this artist’s illustration. By comparing the timing of the two emissions from many different neutron star mergers, researchers can measure how fast the universe is expanding.
