Sean McGee, Ph.D.

Sean McGee is a Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics at the School of Astronomy and Physics of the University of Birmingham.

He received a PhD in physics from the University of Waterloo in 2010, with focus on the role of galaxy groups in the properties of galaxies. He then spent two years as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Durham, followed by two years as a postdoctoral fellow at Leiden University.

Sean McGee became a Lecturer at the University of Birmingham in October 2014. Sean works on galaxy formation and evolution, with particular interests in how the growth of cosmic structures affect the formation of galaxies; how gas is accreted into galaxies and the formation of the first generation of stars and black holes.

Sean McGee is a Visiting Fellow at CAS in February 2023 upon invitation of Dr. Klaus Dolag and will join the CAS Research Group on "Complex Views and New Clues of the Universe".
