Biography

Christopher J. Conselice is a Professor of Extragalactic Astronomy at the University of Manchester, specializing in galaxy formation and evolution through cosmic time. He conducts research utilizing both space- and ground-based data alongside computer simulations to determine the galaxies that formed during the earliest epochs of the universe. Conselice has been involved in significant large Hubble Space Telescope surveys such as the GOODS NICMOS Survey and is a founding member of prominent surveys like CANDELS and GOODS. He is also the principal investigator for the Advanced ERC grant, EPOCHS, aimed at understanding galaxy formation during the epoch of reionization through data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Additionally, Conselice serves as the lead editor for the publication 'Galaxies in Cosmology' within the Astrophysical Journal. He has been at the University of Manchester since 2020, following a distinguished academic career at the University of Nottingham, where he held various roles including Lecturer, Reader, and Professor in Astrophysics.
