Lars Hernquist
Lars Hernquist
Mallinckrodt Professor of Astrophysics
at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Lars works on a broad set of topics including theoretical studies of dynamical processes in cosmology and galaxy formation/galaxy evolution, numerical simulations of stellar dynamical and hydrodynamical systems, investigations of the physics of compact objects, particularly neutron stars and the interplay between thermal and magnetic processes in strongly magnetized neutron stars.
Amanda Karakas
Amanda Karakas
Associate Professor
at Monash University
Amanda works on the evolution and nucleosynthesis of sun-like low and intermediate-mass stars and the origin of elements in galaxies. A particular focus is the production of heavy elements in stars, that is, elements heavier than iron, and the role that low and intermediate-star stars play in this story.
Jeyhan Kartaltepe
Jeyhan Kartaltepe
Associate Professor
at Rochester Institute of Technology
Jeyhan is an expert in the areas of galaxy formation and evolution, galaxy morphologies, galaxy mergers and interactions, and the properties of infrared galaxies. She is a co-PI of the large collaboration COSMOS (The Cosmic Evolution Survey), which is a large area multiwavelength extragalactic survey, utilizing nearly every major ground- and space-based telescope. She is a PI of the COSMOS-Web Cycle 1 JWST program (the largest GO program) and a leading co-I for CEERS (The Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey).
Themiya Nanayakkara
Themiya Nanayakkara
Laureate Postdoctoral Astronomer
at Swinburne University of Technology
Themiya investigates galaxy formation and evolution mechanisms by combining deep observations of the early Universe and novel theoretical models. He is an expert in ground and space based observational astronomy, theoretical stellar populations models, and actively engages in machine learning and data science applications in astrophysics research.
Melissa Ness
Melissa Ness
Professor
at the Australian National University
Melissa works on understanding the relationship between the ages, chemical abundances and orbital properties of stars, across the Milky Way disk and bulge using a number of datasets including GALAH, APOGEE, Kepler and Gaia.
Paul Torrey
Paul Torrey
Assistant Professor
at the University of Virginia
Paul is a computational astrophysicist with a research focus on the formation and evolution of our cosmos. His research group builds, runs and analyzes large scale cosmological simulations that allow us to probe how assumptions about our Universe, such as the nature of Dark Matter, impact what astronomers observe in the night sky through instruments such as the James Webb Space Telescope.
