John Stott's Homepage

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher working with Prof Chris Collins at the Liverpool John Moores Astrophysics Research Institute (LJMU ARI). My research concentrates on the evolution of the members of rich galaxy clusters.

I performed my PhD at Durham University from 2004-2007 (Supervisor: A.C. Edge).
