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).

Guillem Anglada was born in Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain. His main topic of research deals with the Physics of the Interstellar Medium, in particular the study of the star and planet formation process, using high angular resolution radio observations. He has carried out pioneering work on the detectability of spectral imaging signatures of gravitational collapse in molecular clouds. Also, in studying the diversity in protoplanetary disks, particularly at long radio wavelengths, to better trace the process of dust grain growth necessary to form planets. He was a member of the team that first discovered water emission in a planetary nebula. He led the first detection of the emission of Proxima Centauri at millimeter wavelengths. He is a leading expert in the study of radio jets in young stellar objects and the discoverer of the correlations, over the entire stellar mass spectrum, that relate the radio luminosity of protostellar jets with the outflow momentum rate and the bolometric luminosity; first detection of synchrotron emission in a protostellar jet. His reviews on the topic of radio jets (e.g., Anglada 1996, ASP Conf Ser, 93, 3; Anglada et al. 2018, A&ARev, 26, 3) have become the main references for establishing the properties and nature of radio jets as well as the procedures to characterize them.
He has been awarded the CIRIT Prize of Catalonia (1988), Extraordinary Doctorate Prize of the University of Barcelona (1992), Henri Chrétien Award of the American Astronomical Society (1992), Patrimonial Chair of Excellence CONACYT Mexico (1996).
He has been the leader of the “Physics of the Interstellar Medium” group at the CSIC since 1998, and he is involved in the development of the SKA project.
Former PhD students are: Josefa Pastor, Inma Sepúlveda, Carlos Carrasco-González, Juan Manuel Mayen-Gijon, Enrique Macías, Ana Karla Diaz-Rodriguez. His book “Introducción a la física del medio interestelar” (Estalella and Anglada 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2008) is a textbook used in the programs of a number of Spanish-speaking universities.
