主讲嘉宾

2026年9月23-24日,致远学院特邀牛津大学天体物理学教授,沃德姆学院林德曼研究员、物理导师、前院长Martin Bureau教授做客第15期Global Wisdom Talk系列讲座,分享关于”天文学中的电磁波谱“的前沿科研探索。作为“星系大师”, Bureau教授热衷于利用对构成星系的气体、恒星和暗物质的观测与理论研究,来约束星系的形成与演化。
嘉宾介绍
Martin Bureau is Professor of Astrophysics in the Department of Physics of the University of Oxford, as well as Lindemann Fellow and Tutor in Physics at Wadham College.
Martin’s research centres on the formation and evolution of galaxies, primarily through detailed studies of (samples of) nearby objects, this across the whole electromagnetic spectrum. He primarily exploits integral-field spectrographs and synthesis imaging, yielding three-dimensional observations of galaxies. Current projects include weighing the supermassive black holes lurking in galaxy centres and characterising the stellar nurseries that are giant molecular clouds. Secular evolution along the Hubble sequence, primarily bar-driven, is also a constant fascination.
Within the Physics Department, Martin is currently in charge of undergraduate admissions. In the past, he has lectured an astrophysics short option, was in charge of all physics exams, and managed the first year Optics laboratory. He also of course supervises PhD students in Oxford and abroad. At Wadham College, in addition to being a past Tutor for Graduates and college Dean, Martin mainly tutors the first year physics curriculum (Mechanics, Circuit Theory, Special Relativity, Electromagnetism, Optics) as well as the second year Statistical Mechanics.
Before Oxford, Martin was a NASA Hubble Fellow at Columbia University and a postdoctoral fellow at Leiden University. He obtained his PhD at Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories (now the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics), part of The Australian National University. He obtained his BSc from the University of Montreal, where he is from originally.
