Dr Stephen Feeney
I am a lecturer and Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCL. Prior to this I was a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York and a postdoctoral researcher in the Astrophysics Group at Imperial College London, after having gained my PhD under the supervision of Professor Hiranya Peiris at UCL. My research interests include observational cosmology, the cosmic microwave background, early-universe physics, and physical applications of Bayesian probability theory and likelihood-free inference.
I obtained my PhD (thesis title "Novel Algorithms for Early-Universe Cosmology") from UCL, and my Master's degree (thesis title "Automated Detection of Classical Novae with Neural Networks") from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge, where I was a member of Gonville and Caius College. Between my undergraduate and postgraduate study, I worked as a software engineer in environmental finance and web development.
