Manuel Solimano

I am a PhD student using multiwavelength observations to study the properties and motions of gas in and around galaxies at early epochs. Current position: PhD student Projects: My dissertation is a detailed, high-resolution study of two distant star-forming galaxies. I use state-of-the-art observations with ESO-VLT and ALMA of the hydrogen Lyman-alpha and ionized carbon …

Anuroop Dasgupta

I am currently a PhD student working with Dr. Alice Zurlo as a part of the YEMS project. Position: Ph.D. student Projects My PhD thesis aims to study young exoplanets and brown dwarf companions using high-contrast imaging (HCI) techniques, particularly through a SPHERE survey led by Prof. Zurlo. This survey targets 7 companions using star …

Hamideh Hosseini

I am currently doing my PhD in Astrophysics. My research focuses on the electromagnetic memory effect, which is analogous to the gravitational memory effect. Current position: PhD student Projects: I am particularly focused on electromagnetic memory effect that is an analogue to gravitational memory effect. According to general relativity, gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime …

Emilio Hueichapan

I’m a PhD student at IEA, interested in Core Collapse Supernovae, particularly the most luminous ones. Currently I’m analyzing a Luminous double-peaked supernova with high ejecta-velocites. Current position: PhD student Projects: I am developing a supernovae spectroscopic survey with a spectrograph installed on the OMA700 telescope at Obstech. It will be dedicated to classify transients …
