The Team
Researchers
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.
Assistant Professor, whose research focusses on the study of active galactic nuclei (AGN), particularly interested in how they accrete material and how they interact with their immediate surroundings.
Full Professor, working on the study of protoplanetary disks and the characterization of their properties; currently focussed on the ODISEA project.
Postdoctoral fellow, working on identifying AGN transients using spectroscopic surveys and LSST multi-band data, and studying cold AGN outflows to measure black hole dynamical masses.
Full Professor, whose expertise focusses on the interstellar and circumgalactic medium of galaxies to understand their formation and evolution using ALMA, JWST, VLA, and other observations.
PhD student, working with Evelyn Johnston on analyzing the dynamics experienced by the stellar populations and the interstellar medium in the system formed by NGC 1316 and NGC 1317 with integral field spectroscopy using SDSS-V LVM and MUSE.
FONDECYT postdoctoral researcher, focussing on gravitational physics - from a numerical and analytical perspective - including the physics of black holes.
Associate Professor and current Director of the Astrophysics PhD Program, and Director of ERIS - whose research centers on the evolution of the Milky Way by analzying chemical abundances of stars.
PhD student, working with Bin Yang and Lucas Cieza, focussing on analyzing the observations of protoplanetary disks and Solar System objects to understand planetary system formation and evolution.
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.
Full Professor, whose research focusses on studying active supermassive black holes and how they affect the evolution of galaxies they are in.
Postdoctoral researcher, studying AGN, mostly in the X-ray regime - also including outflows at different scales, and the multi-wavelength exploration of dual AGN and binary supermassive black holes.

Former Members
Former PhD student, who worked with Claudio Ricci, focussed on building models of the material of the material around the supermassive black hole that simulate the X-ray radiation and its interaction with this material.
PhD student working with Lucas Cieza, interested in studying properties of dust in protoplanetary and debris disks at the Cosmic Dust Laboratory.
Former Visiting student from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working on AGN, Galaxy Evolution, and low-redshift Hot DOGs.
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.
Former Postdoctoral Researcher with ERIS, interested in exploring the mass assembly of the Milky Way and focussed on spectroscopic data from APOGEE.
