Stuart Gill

Stuart P.D. Gill received his Ph.D. from Swinburne University, Australia, in 2005. Currently he is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Astronomy and an instructor in the Frontiers of Science program at Columbia University. Dr. Gill uses computer simulations to study the formation and evolution of galaxies that inhabit the largest objects in the Universe: galaxy clusters. Even though he studies the largest objects in the Universe, he still retains the optimism that there is something even bigger out there-- a perspective that led him to pursue a Masters of Divinity degree as well as closer involvement with the Columbia Center for the Study of Science and Religion.
