Fergus Cullen
Institute for Astronomy, Royal Observatory, Edinburgh
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Astronomy, part of the University of Edinburgh.
I received my PhD in 2015 from the University of Edinburgh. My thesis was based on an analysis of the emission line properties and chemical abundances of high-redshift star-forming galaxies. In general, my research is focused on understanding the evolution of galaxies across cosmic time using a combination of imaging and spectroscopic surveys. I am also interested in using cosmological simulations to aid in our interpretation of observational results.
I’m currently a member of the VANDELS, MOONS, KLEVER and QSAGE collaborations. Visit the projects page for more information on the work I do.

| Jun 17, 2020 | More results from QSAGE survey have recently appeared on the arXiv. In this paper, lead by John Stott, we demonstrate that UV-bright quasars at z=1-2 are found in overdense environments. |
| Apr 16, 2020 | My recent paper on the stellar metallicities of Lyα emitting galaxies at 3 < z < 5 has been accepted for publication in MNRAS. We present evidence for a strong correlation between stellar metallicity and the strength of the observed Lyα emission. |
