The Team
Researchers
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.
PhD student, working with Chiara Mazzucchelli, studying radio-loud quasars and their environments at cosmic dawn, using MUSE observations.
Visiting PhD student from UNAB, specializing in extragalactic astronomy - with a focus on AGN selection and variability studies, and photometric redshift estimation.
PhD student, working with José Prieto, focusing on the study of core-collapse supernovae, interested in the spectroscopic analysis of Type II supernovae and the velocity structure of the CSM.
PhD student, working with Claudio Ricci, focussing on the millimeter, X-ray, and UV emission from nearby luminous AGN, using SWIFT and ALMA observations.
PhD student, working with Evelyn Johnston, focussing on implementing phylogenetic methods in extragalactic astronomy, to analyze unresolved stellar populations.
Postdoctoral researcher, studying exoplanets using observations from space-based telescopes, and the transit method.
PhD student, working with Chiara Mazzucchelli, studying AGN across cosmic time - including the identification of AGN through SED fitting, and exploring the CGM around high-redshift quasars.
PhD student, working with Paula Jofré, focussing on using machine learning techniques to analyze large astrophysical datasets to understand stellar physics and galaxy evolution.

Former Members
Former Visiting student with ERIS, interested in solar twins in the GALAH survey, and in using a data-driven machine learning algorithm to measure chemical abundances, as well as phylogenetic trees.
Former PhD student at the IEA, and current Postdoctoral Researcher at Centro de Astrobiología - interested in using multiwavelength observations to study the properties and motions of gas in galaxies at early epochs.
Former CATA Postdoctoral Researcher, studying distant galaxies and black holes that lived during the young Universe, using the ALMA-CRISTAL survey at high redshifts.
Former PhD student, interested in the discovery and characterization of exoplanets and exomoons, mainly with high-contrast imaging using near-infrared data.
Former Postdoctoral Researcher at the IEA, and currently Assistant Professor at Universidad de Antofagasta - working on time domain research, mainly focussed on the study of supernovae and their progenitors.
