Dr Stijn Wuyts is a Senior Lecturer in extragalactic astronomy at the University of Bath. He obtained his PhD from Leiden University on the topic of "Red galaxies at High Redshift", worked on the interface between galaxy observations and simulations as W. M. Keck Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and further explored the distant universe as Junior Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. At the University of Bath, he combines tracers of stars, dust, ionised and cold gas to reveal the physics governing the build-up of stars within galaxies near and far, and the evolution of their structure through cosmic time.
