Faculty

Assistant Professor, whose research focusses on the study of active galactic nuclei (AGN), particularly interested in how they accrete material and how they interact with their immediate surroundings.

Assistant Professor, starting in the Fall of 2026, whose research focusses on precision cosmology and the large-scale structure of the Universe using statistical techniques and galaxy surveys.

Full Professor, working on the study of protoplanetary disks and the characterization of their properties; currently focussed on the ODISEA project.

Assistant Professor, whose research focusses on understanding the formation and evolution of nearby galaxies, and in understanding morphological transformations of their components.

Full Professor and Director of YEMS, whose main research revolves around detecting and characterizing exoplanets with high-contrast imaging.

Full Professor and current Director of IEA, whose research focusses on the study of astrophysical transients and their characterization using observations.

Associate Professor, whose primary focus is the characterization of primitive small bodies like asteroids and comets, using diverse observing techniques.

Associate Professor and current Director of the Astrophysics PhD Program, and Director of ERIS – whose research centers on the evolution of the Milky Way by analzying chemical abundances of stars.

Full Professor, whose expertise focusses on the interstellar and circumgalactic medium of galaxies to understand their formation and evolution using ALMA, JWST, VLA, and other observations.

Assistant Professor, working in extra-galactic astrophysics, focussing on very luminous active galactic nuclei – quasars – in the epoch of reionization.
