Sorya Lambert

I am a PhD student at IEA, working with Professor Evelyn Johnston. My research revolves around the formation and evolution of galaxies. I am focussing on pioneering the use of phylogenetic methods to analyze unresolved stellar populations. I will establish a new method to reconstruct the evolutionary and merger histories of clusters and nearby galaxies. Additionnaly, I …

Florence de Almeida

I am a PhD student working on chemically labeling and tagging accreted stars in the solar neighborhood. Furthermore, this research aims to test planet formation theory by looking for planets around these stars using radial velocities.  Current position: PhD student Projects: My first project focuses on the chemical characterization of the sample of accreted stars …

Javiera Espinoza

I am a PhD student interested in small primitive objects of the Solar System, their formation and evolution. Current position: PhD student Projects: My current project in collaboration with Bin Yang and Jian-Yang Li consists of quantitatively characterizing ejecta curtain of Dimorphos after the DART impact. The objectives are to provide a list of features, …

Manuel Solimano

I am a PhD student using multiwavelength observations to study the properties and motions of gas in and around galaxies at early epochs. Current position: PhD student Projects: My dissertation is a detailed, high-resolution study of two distant star-forming galaxies. I use state-of-the-art observations with ESO-VLT and ALMA of the hydrogen Lyman-alpha and ionized carbon …

Anuroop Dasgupta

I am currently a PhD student working with Dr. Alice Zurlo as a part of the YEMS project. Position: Ph.D. student Projects My PhD thesis aims to study young exoplanets and brown dwarf companions using high-contrast imaging (HCI) techniques, particularly through a SPHERE survey led by Prof. Zurlo. This survey targets 7 companions using star …

Hamideh Hosseini

I am currently doing my PhD in Astrophysics. My research focuses on the electromagnetic memory effect, which is analogous to the gravitational memory effect. Current position: PhD student Projects: I am particularly focused on electromagnetic memory effect that is an analogue to gravitational memory effect. According to general relativity, gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime …

Emilio Hueichapan

I’m a PhD student at IEA, interested in Core Collapse Supernovae, particularly the most luminous ones. Currently I’m analyzing a Luminous double-peaked supernova with high ejecta-velocites. Current position: PhD student Projects: I am developing a supernovae spectroscopic survey with a spectrograph installed on the OMA700 telescope at Obstech. It will be dedicated to classify transients …
