  1. City Lab

    The Uses of Art Lab, based within ART LABS, asks how we can use art more effectively in society. Discover the themes and projects based within the Lab.

  2. Exhibition Research Lab

    The Exhibition Research Lab is the first centre devoted to the study of exhibitions. We have ties with Tate Liverpool, the Liverpool Biennial, as well as six major European museums and a network of arts institutions. Find out more about the Lab's collaborations and projects.

  3. Shot Under the Volcano

    Shot Under the Volcano is a new multimedia installation by John Hyatt and the design agency, Uniform, at the Bluecoat and Sensor City inspired by Malcolm Lowry's 'Under the Volcano'.

  4. Galaxy formation and evolution

    The Galaxy Formation and Evolution Research Group looks at population studies of dwarf galaxies up to the most massive clusters of galaxies, supermassive black holes and detailed modelling of the internal structure of galaxies. Discover more about our expertise, who we work with and meet the researchers.

  5. Time domain astrophysics

    Within the time domain astrophysics research group, we are involved in major observational survey projects. We work on a variety of explosive transients, including galactic and extragalactic novae, type la supernovae, core collapse supernovae, and gamma rays bursts. The Liverpool Telescope is the workhorse of the group. Find out more about our research.

  6. Computational and theoretical galaxy formation

    The computational and theoretical galaxy formation group within the Astrophysics Research Institute uses state-of-the-art simulations on supercomputing facilities. Find out more about our research.

  7. Star formation and evolution and stellar populations

    By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.

  8. Astronomical Technology

    The Astronomical Technology Group is interested in optical and near-IR observations and the technology that facilitates them. Activities of the group include the operation of the robotic Liverpool Telescope and the development of its 4 metre successor.
