Physical characterization of galaxy clusters and their implications for cosmology through the combination of optical and mm observations

I have advised several students at all levels, teaching them aspects of scientific analysis and independent research skills. Specifically,

-While doing my PhD in Leiden, I co-supervised Joshua Albert's MSc thesis project trying to understand diffuse radio emission in merging galaxy clusters (2013).

-While I was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University, I
* Co-supervised a PhD thesis project for Naomi Robertson, then at Oxford University (UK), estimating the masses of galaxy clusters using weak gravitational lensing (2017-2019); and
* Supervised BSc student Malik Walker (now a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University) through a summer research project and his senior project (2018), analyzing the alignment of galaxies with one another due to their gravitational interactions.

-Now at PUCV I
* Am MSc thesis advisor for Camila Aros-Bunster, who since 2020 is working on characterizing distant galaxy clusters using near infrared observations. Although the sanitary emergency has prevented traveling to observatories, she has led several observing nights at the Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. She will complete her MSc thesis during 2021.
* Supervised a summer research project with BSc student Lya Marmolejo of PUCV (2021).
* Supervised a semester-long project for Nicole Mejía, Physics and Astronomy Bachelor student at Universidad Autónoma de Honduras, through the "Central American-Caribbean Bridge in Astrophysics Program", a remote supervising program to connect Central American students with researchers all over the world (2020).
