JJ Eldridge is a theoretical astrophysicist based in New Zealand. Eldridge is the head of the Department of Physics at the University of Auckland and co-author of The Structure And Evolution Of Stars.
Eldridge obtained their MA and MSci from the University of Cambridge, England. [1] They also obtained their PhD in astrophysics at Cambridge, in the Institute of Astronomy, with a thesis titled 'Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae'. [1] [2] [3] They worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut d'astrophysique de Paris and Queen's University in Belfast, before returning to the Institute of Astrophysics at Cambridge. [1] [2] In 2011 they were appointed lecturer in astrophysics at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Eldridge studies the evolution of binary stars using numerical models. [4] At the University of Auckland, together with Elizabeth Stanway, they co-developed the Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) models to study the evolution of stars. [5] [6] They used these models to show that globular clusters were younger than previously thought. [6] [5]
Together with Christopher Adam Tout, they wrote The Structure And Evolution Of Stars, published in 2019 by World Scientific Europe. [7]
Eldridge is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and Fellow of the Astronomical Society of Australia. [1]
Eldridge is non-binary and is a strong advocate of LGBT+ inclusion. [8] They sit on the Equity committee in the Faculty of Science at the University of Auckland. [9] They also lead the Trans on Campus and Rainbow Science groups at the university. [10] Their efforts have been recognised as key in winning the Pleiades Bronze Award by the Department of Physics at the University of Auckland. [10] They also work with the Australian Society of Astronomy (ASA) on the Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable Astronomy (IDEA) group. [9] [11] For their work in LGBTI+ inclusion they were shortlisted for the New Zealand LGBTI Hero of the Year Award. [12] [13] [14]
