About Callum Murison
Hello! I'm from Edinburgh, and am currently a fifth-year undergraduate student studying Astrophysics at the University of St Andrews. I'm interested in almost all of astronomy and astrophysics, particularly on a computational side (handling and analysing observational data, and simulations). Away from academics, I enjoy playing a variety of sports, exploring the Scottish hills, and am a keen musician.
My research project in summer 2023 focused on mapping a region of the sky known to be star-forming, around the Monoceros constellation, with the hope of using analytical techniques to attempt to find new star clusters.
My LiA in summer 2024 was with the Timothy Smith Network in Boston, Massachusetts, teaching coding and microelectronics as part of the Elevating Agriculture Technology (EAT) course.

Couldn't have done it without you :) Thanks for all the help and laughs throughout!
Thanks @Supakorn (Nikko) Juengsophonvitavas and @Joel Beckles! And thank you both for your help and support in the lead up to my LiA, it made a big difference and I really appreciated it! :)
Some great work here, and not one, but two potential clusters identified! Do you think your method used here could be used for other regions of space?
Hi Oliver! Excitingly, yes! There's nothing specific about my region of interest to this method - it should be equally applicable to any other regions of space to find clusters. I think refinements would be necessary before this wider application though, to improve the efficiency of the algorithm.
