We are pleased to announce that the following postdoctoral researchers will join CIERA in the Fall of 2017!
Cliff Johnson studies star clusters in the context of galaxy evolution, with a focus on data science. He will join us from the University of California at San Diego. Diego Muñoz, currently a researcher at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, will join Prof. Yoram Lithwick’s group to model the dynamics and formation of planets around other stars. Giacomo Terreran studies stellar explosions and other transients (brief astronomical events). He is completing PhD work as a joint student at Queen’s University Belfast and INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico di Padov. Giacomo will join Prof. Raffaella Margutti’s group. Jonathan Stern studies the impact of stars & black holes on galaxies and the matter between galaxies; he is now at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany. Sarah Wellons is finishing her PhD at Harvard University and studies galaxy evolution through computer simulations. Jonathan and Sarah will join Prof. Claude-André Faucher-Giguère’s group.
