“Diving into the era of Large-Scale Structure data: going beyond the Standard Cosmological Model”

Guadalupe is a Theoretical Cosmologist investigating the Universe's origins, evolution, and ultimate fate by studying alternative cosmological models with cutting-edge astrophysical data and advanced statistical techniques, while also forecasting the potential of new experiments and observables, such as Gravitational Waves.

"Galaxy clusters as the Universe’s largest particle accelerators"

Dr. Erik Osinga is a postdoctoral fellow at the Dunlap Institute. He completed his PhD at Leiden University in 2023. Erik's work centres on understanding how magnetic fields and particle acceleration shape the environments within and around galaxy clusters.

An overview on the status of TMT.

Frits Paerels got his PhD in the Netherlands, was a postdoc and a researcher at UC Berkeley, and has been at Columbia since 1995. He has been a professor of astronomy since 2001. His interests have centered on high energy astrophysics, and especially on X-ray spectroscopy. Some of the topics he has worked on are the spectroscopy of X-ray binaries, the physics of the interstellar medium and the intergalactic medium, galaxy clusters, and, on and off, the spectroscopy of X-ray emitting neutron stars. 

Raphael is a post doc at Carnegie Mellon University, working on the the clustering properties of dark matter on galactic scales, with a particular focus on the tidal evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. He builds dynamical models to contrast observational data against competing theories of dark matter.
