Astrophysicist · PhD candidate @ ESO

Natan

de Isídio

From individual dark matter halos around galaxies to the hot gas in galaxy clusters: I study how galaxies grow, interact with their surroundings, and stop forming stars.

About me

I'm an astrophysicist and PhD candidate at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Garching, Germany supervised by Dr. Paola Popesso.

 

I studied astrophysics at the Valongo Observatory (UFRJ), with a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. carried out jointly with the USA National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), in New Mexico, USA. My research moves across scales and wavelengths. I have mapped dark matter in Milky Way analogue galaxies with radio telescopes, measured how environment reshapes galaxy kinematics with integral-field spectroscopy, and tested galaxy evolution physics in cosmological simulations from single galaxies to massive clusters.

 

Outside research, I'm super interested in acting, playing volleyball, football, signing and hiking.
