Rebecca Nealon

At the University of Warwick I was a Stephen Hawking Fellow and Assistant Professor in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group. As of November 2025 I will be an ARC Future Fellow hosted at Monash University in Australia.

My research focuses on warped and misaligned accretion discs and planet formation. In particular I consider protoplanetary discs (accretion discs around young stars), discs around white dwarfs as well as black hole discs.

In my work I use high resolution three-dimensional numerical simulations to model these systems. To see some of these simulations and learn more about my work, head to my website or youtube page.

I am also the creator of Coding with SophieLink opens in a new window, an award winning program that introduces children to coding.
