The group, led by Dr. Guillem Anglada, now consists of four permanent astronomers, 2 post-docs, 3 PhD students, 1 master student, 1 Jae-intro SO student, and an external collaborator who is vinculated to the IAA. In the group, we study star and planetary formation and also the late phases of evolved stars, such as post-AGB stars and planetary nebula. With special interest in disks and jets associated to young stars (from high-mass to low-mass protostars) and with the last phases in the life of a star. To do this, in the majority of cases, we use radio observations at very high angular resolutions as well as theoretical models. In the 20 years of its existence, the group has seen the finalization of 8 PhD thesis, 15 magisters, and has had 4 former post-docs spending time in our group.
Guillem Anglada (full name Guillem Josep Anglada Pons) is a member of the permanent scientific staff of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía CSIC since 1997, and has served as Head of the Department of Radio Astronomy and Galactic Structure (2002-2005), Science Vice-Director (2005-2009) and Director (2009). He obtained his PhD in Physical Sciences from the University of Barcelona (1989), and has held positions as Interim Professor at the Universitat de Barcelona (1990-1996), Senior Researcher B at the Instituto de Astronomía UNAM (1996-1997), Senior Scientist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía CSIC (1997-2005), and Visiting Scientist at Harvard-Smithsonian CfA (2001-2002).
Member of the scientific permanent staff of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (CSIC) since 2005.
Predoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (1989-1990) and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (1990-1993), got his PhD from the University of Granada in 1993. After a post-doctoral contract at the IAA (1993-1995), he was hired as a staff scientist at the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) from 1995 to 2005.
Luis has been working at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía – CSIC since 1997. He studied physics at the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He carried out his PhD thesis at the Max-Planck-Institut fÜr Astronomie (MPIA, Heidelberg, Germany), which was presented at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and did a post-doc at the MPIA.
Mayra has been working at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía – CSIC since 2002. She is originally from Veracruz, Mexico, and studied physics at Veracruz University, finishing her PhD studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico. After which she achieved her Postdoc at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
Rubén Fedriani did his PhD at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and the University College Dublin (UCD) in Ireland. Fedriani then moved to Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden where he was awarded a Marie Sklodowska Curie Action Individual Fellowship (MSCA-IF).
He is now at the Institute for Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA) as a Juan de la Cierva Fellow. The main topic of his research focuses on observational studies of massive star forming regions.
Guillermo Blázquez is currently working on his PhD thesis under the direction of Dr Mayra Osorio and Dr Guillem Anglada. He started in 2019 at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (CSIC) as a Severo Ochoa FPI. He studied a degree in Physics at the University of Córdoba (Spain), and finished his Master in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Granada, Spain.
Roldán studied Electronic Engineering at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia. He joined the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) on June 2021, after finishing his Master in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Granada, Spain. He is developing his PhD thesis in nascent planetary nebulae under the advising of Dr José Francisco Gómez and Dr Luis Felipe Miranda.
Florin is currently working as a PhD student focusing on the study of circumstellar disks and planetary formation under the supervision of Dr Mayra Osorio. He started working at the Institute of Astrophysics in Andalusia (CSIC) in 2020 as a technician, and beforehand studied for an engineering degree in Telecommunication Systems at the University of Málaga, Spain. Then going on to achieve his Master in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Granada, Spain.
Oier is working on developing an online catalogue of models of dust thermal emission around post-AGB stars through a JAE-Intro ICU 2023 grant under the supervision of Dr Mayra Osorio. He has a degree in Physics from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and is currently enrolled in the Master’s program in Physics and Mathematics (FisyMat) at the University of Granada (UGR).
