Dr. Nicole Drakos is an NSERC postdoctoral fellow in the Computational Astrophysics Research Group at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She obtained her PhD from the University of Waterloo in 2019, where she studied dark matter halo evolution. Her main research interests are using theoretical and computational models of structure formation to study cosmology and galaxy evolution.
Dr. Doris Stoppacher is a postdoctoral fellow in the Computational Astrophysics Research Group at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She has a background in stellar and extra-galactic astrophysics but focused on galaxy formation modeling during her PhD. She is particularly interested in the formation and evolutionary channels of today's most luminous and massive galaxies residing in halos that serve as the building blocks of the cosmic web.
Dr. Allison Man is an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia. She investigates the physics behind starbursts, colliding galaxies and supermassive black holes. Allison received her PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Copenhagen. Prior to joining UBC, she was an ESO Fellow at the European Southern Observatory Headquarters and a Dunlap Fellow at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto.
Anže Slosar graduated from Cambridge, followed by postdocs in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Oxford and Berkeley before moving to a staff Scientist position at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He is a group leader for Cosmology & Astrophysics Group. He is interested in all experimental probes of cosmology and has worked on numerous topics including Lyman-alpha forest, galaxy clustering, primordial non-Gaussianity and recently on analysis of photometric galaxy surveys.
