Our main partner in Germany is the IR/sub-mm Group at the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) led by Director Prof. Reinhard Genzel. Our group in Chile has currently 7 members, including three master students and three senior undergrad students.
Group Leader. Associate Professor at the Astronomy Department at UdeC. Rodrigo obtained his PhD at the University of Maryland under the supervision of Prof. Bolatto, and was a postdoctoral fellow at MPE/IR-group between 2015-2019.
Master Student analizing how reliable are molecular gas masses measured in z~2 galaxies using CO, [CI], and dust tracers.
Master Student analyzing the kinematics of high-z galaxies using a set of kinematic modeling tools.
Master student analyzing the demographics of molecular and ionized outflows in typical, star-forming galaxies in the nearby Universe.
Senior undergraduate student analyzing the physical and kinematic properties of the z~2, massive compact galaxy K20-ID5 (also known as GMASS 0953).
Senior undergraduate student analyzing the molecular gas and outflow properties of nearby clumpy galaxies that serve as analogs of z~2 typical star-forming galaxies.
