This is a list of graduate students and postdocs that I have been pleased to collaborate with recently.
Elena Bellomi
Elena is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. She studies mergers between clusters of galaxies using N-body/magnetohydrodynamical simulations and synthetic observations.
Paola Domínguez-Fernández
Paola is currently a Future Faculty Fellow at Harvard University. She studies the evolution of cosmic ray electrons and synchrotron radio emission in merging clusters of galaxies, and the cosmological origins of magnetic fields.
Emily Silich
Emily is currently a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology, and was a predoctoral researcher at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in 2024. She studies merging galaxy clusters using multi-wavelength observations and the circumgalactic medium using cosmological simulations.
Wonki Lee
Wonki is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, and was a Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory predoctoral researcher in 2022. He studies mergers between clusters of galaxies using N-body/magnetohydrodynamical simulations and observations in the X-ray, radio, and optical bands.
Urmila Chadayammuri
Urmila is currently the Astronomy & Astrophysics Editor at Nature. She was previously a postdoc at the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Her research concerns idealized and cosmological simulations of clusters of galaxies, and X-ray analyses of the circumgalactic medium.
Veronica Biffi
Veronica is a staff researcher at the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, Astronomical Observatory of Trieste. She was previously a fellow at LMU-Munich and a postdoc at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. She specializes in cosmological simulations and synthetic X-ray observations of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
