The Team
Researchers
PhD student, working in Stellar and Galactic astrophysics - particularly in chemically tagging accreted stars in the solar neighborhood, and studying planet formation theories.
PhD student working with Lucas Cieza, interested in studying properties of dust in protoplanetary and debris disks at the Cosmic Dust Laboratory.
PhD student, working with Manuel Aravena, on the formation of high-redshift galaxies and how they evolve into the massive galaxies we observe today.
Postdoctoral researcher, studying the active supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies to understand their underlying accretion mechanism and how they interact with their host galaxies.
Full Professor, working on the search and characterization of exoplanets - with a focus on using the radial-velocity method - making use of TESS and NGTS.
PhD student, working with Bin Yang, interested in studying small, primitive objects of the Solar System, and their formation and evolution.
PhD student, working with James Jenkins, focussing on the discovery and characterization of exoplanets using radial velocity observations.
Full Professor and current Director of IEA, whose research focusses on the study of astrophysical transients and their characterization using observations.
PhD student, working with Alice Zurlo and the YEMS collaboration, on exomoon hunting and atmospheric characterization of substellar companions.
PhD student, working with Claudio Ricci, studying super-Eddington accretion around supermassive black holes in the centers of active galaxies.
ALMA-ANID postdoctoral fellow, working on galaxy formation and evolution, with a focus on the physical and dynamical conditions of interstellar and circumgalactic gas at high redshift.
Adjunct Professor at IEA-UDP, who advises professors and students in the Astrophysics Doctoral Program, and runs an international observatory that belongs to the Carnegie Institution for Science.
