Speaker: Dr Alex Cameron

Dr. Alex Cameron is an astronomer in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford.

He hails from the small town of Wangaratta in rural south-eastern Australia, where the night sky looks stunning, especially in early spring. He did his undergraduate and PhD studies at the University of Melbourne, before moving to Oxford as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in 2021. He is a member of the JWST/NIRSpec instrument team and had some involvement in the commissioning process after the launch of JWST. He is part of the “JADES” survey team who will analyse some of the deepest exposures that JWST will get within its first year of operation. His research interests involve trying to understand the evolutionary processes that have shaped galaxies over the last 13 billion years since they first formed in the early Universe until the present day.
