Yara L. Jaffe

I am an professor at Universidad Tecnica Federico Santamaria since 2023. Before that I was an Associate professor at Universidad de Valparaíso for 5 years. Before becoming a professor, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at ESO-Santiago (with duties as support astronomer for UT4 Very Large Telescope, and MUSE in Paranal), the University of Concepcion, and INAF - Astronomical Observatory of Padova. I did my PhD at the University of Nottingham and ESO-Garching, and prior to that, as an undergraduate student at Universidad Simon Bolivar, I worked at NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center, and Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia (CIDA) My research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time and environment.
