Kamran R J Bogue

Hello!

Hi, I'm Kammy, a PhD Researcher at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, supervised by Dr Rowan Smith. My research centres around star formation, galaxies, magnetic fields, and the interstellar medium in the local universe. Beyond my research, I am actively engaged in science communication, outreach, and teaching, and have been extensively involved in the social responsibilty sphere. If you have any questions or are interested in collaborating with me on research, outreach, or social responsibility work, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

PhD Research

My PhD research utilises high-resolution Arepo magnetohydrodynamic simulations of nearby isolated galaxies to study star formation and magnetism in the interstellar medium. The magnetic field in our simulations is self-consistently dynamo-generated, and amplifies over hundreds of megayears. With this model, the correlation between the alignment of the magnetic field and molecular and atomic gas can be investigated, as can the link between atomic and molecular gas. The impact of magneitc fields on the star formation history of the galaxy can also be measured by sink particles, capitalising on the unique abilities of theoretical research. With mutiple models of varying field strength, the specific impact of magnetism in star forming environments can also be interrogated by extracting the molecular cloud populations of the galaxies. You can read more about my work on my research page.

Outreach
and Teaching

Outreach and teaching has been a significant component of my academic journey so far. I've had the opportunity to teach at both the University of Manchester and Cardiff University, to work for Techniquest Science Discovery Centre, and to be part of the Jodcast. I've additonally worked with wonderful charities such as The Brilliant Club and the Social Mobility Foundation, as well as volunteering for Universe in the Classroom. You can read more about my outreach and teaching experience on my Outreach and Teaching page, but I'm happy to answer any other questions on the topic so feel free to contact me!.
