Dr Lee R. Patrick

Observational astrophysicist specialising in red supergiant stars. I work on their physical and binary properties and usually study red supergiants in galaxies outside of our Milky Way galaxy. 

I am a staff scientist for the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Astrobiology Centre in Madrid. In general, my research is focused on the evolution of massive stars and  I specialise in Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations.  I am involved in the development of  new facilities including the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT).

I am a keen communicator of science and take a great interest in discussing my research with the public. I try to participate in as many outreach events as possible. I sporadically publish astronomy review articles on my blog website.

I currently offer Masters projects and shorter practicas at multiple Universities in Madrid and throughout Spain. If you want to discuss a potential project based on my research lines, please get in touch and see the Research Projects page for inspiration.
