Simon John LillyFRS[5] is aprofessor in the Department of Physics atETH Zürich.[6][7]

Education

[edit]

Lilly was educated at theUniversity of Cambridge where he was awarded aBachelor of Arts degree inNatural Sciences (Physics and Theoretical Physics) in 1980.[7] He went on to study at theUniversity of Edinburgh where he was awarded aPhD in 1983 for research on the evolution ofradio galaxies supervised byMalcolm Longair.[1][8]

Career and research

[edit]

Following his PhD, Lilly was aSERC/NATOpostdoctoral research Fellow atPrinceton University from 1984 to 1985. He was appointedassistant professor and thenassociate professor at theUniversity of Hawaii from 1985 to 1990, then full professor at theUniversity of Toronto from 1990 to 2000. He served asDirector General of theHerzberg Institute of Astrophysics from 2000 to 2002. That year, he was appointed Professor at ETH Zurich in 2002, in a dual appointment with his wifeMarcella Carollo. He served as Head of the Department of Physics at ETH from 2015 to 2017.[7] Lilly's research investigatesgalaxy formation and evolution.[9][10][11][12][13][14] With the zCOSMOS project,[15] Lilly has sought to identify the physical processes that shape the properties of galaxies over cosmic time in different space environments.[16] He is also working to find new ways of detecting theintergalactic medium — the gaseous material that galaxies form from and later exchange material with.[2][3][16][17]

Controversy

[edit]

In August 2017,ETH Zurich dissolved its institute for astronomy. According to news reports inNZZ am Sonntag[18] andScience[4] the closure of the institute followed allegations of misconduct in the Institute by Lilly's Italian-Swiss wife,Marcella Carollo. A subsequent investigation by ETH cleared Lilly of any misconduct but not Carollo, who was dismissed.[citation needed]

Awards and honours

[edit]

Lilly was elected aFellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014, with the citation noting that his early work "provided the first convincing measurement of thestar formationhistory of the Universe."[16]

He was awarded the 2017Herschel Medal by theRoyal Astronomical Society, in recognition of his work on the Canada-FranceRedshift Survey, which "provided the first measurement of the luminosity density of normal galaxies over cosmological timescales [and] motivated the follow-up census at higher redshifts with the firstHubble Deep Field."[19]

In 2017 and again in 2018, he was identified as a Highly Cited Researcher[20] for his research work at ETH.
