Dejene Zewdie Woldeyes

Postdoctoral Researcher at North-West University

Former PhD student

I am a former graduate student at UDP, working on AGN and galaxy evolution in high redshift quasars and their environments.

Projects

Currently, I am working on IMACS deep images in the g, r, and i-bands. My aim is to survey Lyman-break galaxies near two hot dust-obscure galaxies to enhance our understanding of the richness and evolutionary state of their environment. Additionally, I am also analyzing the VLT/MUSE observation data to confirm the selected Lyman break galaxies and search for any fainter Lyman alpha emitters.

Highlights

ANID Doctoral Scholarship

Publications

My PhD thesis titled “Hot Dust Obscured Galaxies Environments” can be found here.

Extracurricular activities

I engage in various extracurricular activities and hobbies. I enjoy participating in outreach programs to interact with people and share knowledge about astronomy and science in general. I have a fondness for running, playing football, and going hiking. These activities enable me to explore different aspects of life and maintain a balanced lifestyle along with my studies.
