The Offices for Science and the Astronomy Faculty are very pleased to present the 2020 ESO Fellows. Here is an introduction to the Fellows due to start in Garching, Germany later this year.
Introducing the 2020 ESO Fellows - Germany
Francesca Fragkoudi
Research Interests: Galaxy formation & evolution; dynamics of barred galaxies; chemo-dynamics of MW stellar populations; N-body & hydrodynamical simulations; cosmological simulations; Gaia and IFU/multi-object spectroscopic surveys; synergies between theory and observations
Current Institute: Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Germany
Łukasz Tychoniec
Research Interests: Outflows and jets from young protostars - origin, chemical composition, and kinematics of molecular jets; the impact of jets on the environment; disks in the youngest protostars in the context of planet formation, observations with ALMA, VLA and JWST.
Current institute: Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands
Michele Ginolfi
Research Interests: Multi-wavelength observations (e.g., VLT, ALMA) and theoretical studies (numerical/semi-analytical models) of galaxy evolution across the cosmic time; AGN/star-formation-driven feedback, gas flows and baryon cycle in the early Universe; interstellar gas & dust properties of local and distant galaxies.
Current institute: University of Genève, Switzerland
Laura Sánchez Menguiano
Research Interests: Formation, evolution and chemical enrichment of galaxies; study of abundances and properties of HII regions; integral field spectroscopy
Current Institute: Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Spain
