Astroseminar - Eduardo Martin-Martinez

Eduardo Martín-Martínez is a Full Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. He is also an Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Associate, a Perimeter Institute Affiliate and a member of the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics. Since July 2022, he has served as the Chair of the International Society for Relativistic Quantum Information.

Astroseminar - Steffani Grondin

Steffani Grondin is a final-year PhD candidate in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on the evolution of compact object binaries and the common envelope phase, using star clusters as laboratories to study binary evolution. Steffani is also the main developer of Corespray, a Python package that efficiently simulates dynamical interactions in star clusters. Her software has provided new insights into a variety of Milky Way science cases, including hypervelocity stars, stellar streams and the composition of the Galactic halo.

Astronomy on Tap (Marie-Joëlle Gingras and Kiana Salehi)

Join usat Astronomy on Tap as researchers Marie-Joëlle Gingras (University of Waterloo) explores how these cosmic titans influence the Milky Way. Then, Kiana Salehi (Perimeter Institute) will dive into a weird mystery of black holes and tackle a burning question: do black holes have hair? (No, not the kind you’re thinking of — but don’t worry if you have no idea what that means. Come find out!)

Astroseminar - Tobias Geron

Tobias Geron finished his PhD in Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, UK, and he recently started as a Rubin fellow at the University of Toronto. Tobias spends his time between studying bars in galaxies and developing software to study transients with the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Astroseminar - Veronika Dornan

Veronika Dornan is a final-year PhD candidate in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University. Her research uses observations of galaxies' globular star cluster systems as tracers of their evolutionary histories. She is particularly interested in studying the globular cluster system mass - halo mass scaling relation and understanding what drives this relation from dwarf galaxies to massive ellipticals galaxies.

Astroseminar - Erik Osinga

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.

Astroseminar - Frits Paerels

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.
