Graduate Students

PhD student starting in August 2026, and I plan to work with Professor Bin Yang on Solar System small bodies and exoplanets using extreme adaptive optics; currently focussed on exoplanet direct imaging and spectroscopy.

PhD student, starting in Fall 2026, and will work with Alice Zurlo in a co-tutelle program with the IEA and University of Padova, focussing on the search for natural satellites around giant exoplanets or brown dwarfs with Doppler monitoring, and with CRIRES+ / HiRISE spectra.

PhD student, starting in Fall 2026, and will work with Professor Enrique Paillas to study the dark energy equation of state and the large-scale structure of the universe, using recent data releases from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI).

Visiting student, currently working with Alice Zurlo on the detection of exoplanets and exomoons (mainly with the direct imaging technique) and on the orbital characterization of planetary systems.

PhD student, working with Paula Jofré, interested in the application of AI methods to study the Milky Way stars; focused on advancing spectroscopic techniques to determine stellar parameters and chemical abundances.

PhD student, working with José Prieto, focusing on the study of core-collapse supernovae, interested in the spectroscopic analysis of Type II supernovae and the velocity structure of the CSM.

PhD student, working with Manuel Aravena, interested in understanding the properties of high-redshift galaxies and their environment, and how they influence galaxy evolution.

PhD student, working with Chiara Mazzucchelli, studying radio-loud quasars and their environments at cosmic dawn, using MUSE observations.

PhD student, working with James Jenkins, focussing on the discovery and characterization of exoplanets using radial velocity observations.

PhD student, working with Roberto Assef -focussing on understanding the role of AGN in galaxy evolution through high-redshift quasars and Lyman Break Galaxies.
