Alejandra Rojas Lilayú
Former Postdoctoral Fellow
I am a former CATA Postdoctoral Fellow (PUC-UDP). I was working on the 4MOST/ChANGES and BASS surveys. My current research interests include multiphase AGN-driven outflows (ionized, molecular), and the characterization of their hosts through SED models to test feedback effects.
Projects
My projects include the selection of AGN and the characterization of their hosts through SED models for the 4MOST/ChANGES survey. Additionally, I’m leading two projects in the BASS Survey: the multiwavelength SED modeling of BASS AGN hosts, and the study of multiphase AGN-driven outflows and feedback effects using MUSE and ALMA data for a subsample of BASS.
Highlights
My main collaborations are:
- BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS, bass-survey.com)
- Chilean AGN/Galaxy Evolution Survey (ChANGES): ESO 4MOST Extragalactic Community Survey S16

Extracurricular activities
- Watercolor painting and sports – Serving as a mentor in the PROVOCA program, an AUI/NRAO initiative that aims to increase the participation, retention and promotion of women and other underrepresented minorities in STEM (https://nrao.cl/mentoras-provoca/)
- I started the outreach project “Astroacuarela”, a watercolour workshop to teach astronomical topics using painting techniques (https://www.uantof.cl/prensa/astro-acuarela-une-la-astronomia-y-el-arte-para-las-personas-mayores/). This workshop has been given to seniors in the “Casas del Adulto Mayor de la Municipalidad de Antofagasta” and I plan to expand the activity to kids and general public.
