Chiara Mazzucchelli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assistant Professor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am an assistant professor working in extra-galactic astrophysics, focusing on very luminous active galactic nuclei (quasars) in the epoch of reionization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

My current research focuses on the discovery and characterization of the first luminous quasars in the very early universe (i.e. ~800 Myr old). These objects host very massive black holes in their centers, and they are formidable beacons of the pristine cosmic times. I am interested both in their physical properties and in the environments where they live in, which are predicted to be among the richest in the first Gyr of the universe. I am recently focusing on early quasars with powerful radio-jets, in particular working on characterizing the role of the jets in the early black hole growth, and in the black hole\/host-galaxy co-evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
