I'm Katherine Ormerod, a PhD student at the Astrophysics Research Institute, Liverpool John Moores University.
My research focuses on galaxies within the Epoch of Reionisation, the Universe's last major phase transition. I am particularly interested in the ionising properties of these galaxies, as well as their dust content and properties.
Prior to my PhD, I completed an MSc by research at the University of Manchester, examining the size and structure of over 1000 galaxies with JWST NIRCam data at z>1.5.
I am also interested in science communication and outreach, and have given talks in local high schools and sixth form colleges.
As well as my interest in high-redshift astronomy, I also have a keen interest in football analytics, combining my experience as a football player with my interest in data analysis!
