Dr Stevens, who works at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) on problems relating to galaxy evolution, was awarded the ASAΓÇÖs Louise Webster Prize 2022 for outstanding research by a scientist in their early postdoctoral career.

He uses simulations of the Universe to study the formation of galaxies, and models how these might be observed by scientists with telescopes, allowing for fair comparison to real data, ultimately testing the underlying t
