Biography

Jeroen Stil is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary specializing in computational astrophysics. With a PhD in Astronomy from the University of Leiden obtained in 1999, he has built an extensive career focusing on radio astronomy, cosmic magnetism, galaxy evolution, and statistical analyses within astrophysics. His research utilizes the largest radio telescopes globally to observe the dynamics of gas in galaxies and the magnetic fields influencing them. He is actively engaged in astronomical surveys, including significant projects like the Milky Way survey with the Jansky Large Array and magnetic field measurements using the 300-m Arecibo Radio Telescope. Furthermore, Jeroen is pioneering methods in advanced image analysis and statistical tools to enhance our understanding of galaxy evolution. His work not only bridges the gap between astrophysics and computer science but also fosters interdisciplinary collaborations. He teaches several courses including Classical Mechanics and Interstellar Medium, contributing to the education and development of future scientists in related fields.
