Professor Warrick Lawson is an astrophysicist with significant expertise in star formation, young stellar populations, and stellar evolution. He has held past roles as the Associate Dean for Research, and Head of School of Science at UNSW Canberra.
 
For Future Research Students: PhD and Masters scholarships are available for high performing students to study properties of the stellar populations of some of the nearest star forming regions to Earth. These studies will make use of Australian and international ground-based optical, infrared and radio facilities, and archival space-based data from satellites such as NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope.
