Vishnu Balakrishnan is a postdoctoral researcher in Liam Connor’s group, working in time-domain radio astronomy with a focus on pulsars, fast radio bursts (FRBs), and large-scale survey software. He joined the group in September 2025.
He received his Ph.D...
Research interests: I am broadly interested in a range of topics in astrophysics and cosmology, with a particular focus on the formation and evolution of galaxies and quasars. My current research combines numerical simulations and phenomenological...
Devesh Nandal is a Swiss National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. He builds next-generation stellar evolution models for massive and supermassive stars. His work develops the physics of...
Cristhian is a NASA Einstein Fellow working on large-scale structure analyses and tests of the standard model of cosmology. He obtained his PhD from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2024. His research focuses on improving our understanding of...
Monica Gallegos-Garcia’s research aims to improve our understanding of binary evolution and the formation of gravitational wave sources. In her work, she incorporates a physics-focused and multi-messenger approach to the study of key stages in binary...
Oliver Zier earned Bachelor`s degrees in physics and computer science from the University of Bayreuth in Germany and a Master’s degree in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics from the University of Munich. In 2023, under the advisory of Prof. Volker...
Kaley develops and analyzes dwarf galaxy simulations in the early Universe to understand the first stars & galaxies and how they contributed to the Milky Way.
I study the evolution of gas around galaxies using computer simulations. By combining large-scale cosmological simulations with high-resolution isolated galaxy simulations, we can explore the formation and survival of small-scale, multiphase structures...
