Julia(Zhuhui) Chen [zchen@stsci.edu]
Julia Chen has a degree in
Information Systems. Julia began working with STScI in the spring of 2002 as
an intern under Claus Leitherer. She is currently working as an IT consultant on various web pages and cgi resources
for the Starburst group.
Duilia
de Mello [duilia@ipanema.gsfc.nasa.gov]
Duilia de Mello was a post-doc at Space Telescope Science Institute
from May 1997 until 1999. Meanwhile, she moved to Goddard Space Flight
Center to support the GOODS project. Nevertheless, she is
still maintaining her ties with STScI.
Her main research interests involve:
the role of evolution in galaxy properties; the environmental effects
in galaxy evolution/formation; the properties of star-forming galaxies
at low and high redshifts; the starburst/AGN connection. Her main goal
is to construct a robust method to analyse the stellar population of
star-forming galaxies at high redshift.
Daniel Devost [devost@astro.cornell.edu]
Daniel Devost did his Phd Thesis with the Université
Laval in Quebec City, and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI).
His main scientific interests lie in the study of the effects of star
formation and their relation with the physical properties of galaxies.
He is studying starburst galaxies which are a unique "laboratory" to understand
the dynamics of star formation and its impact on the ISM of galaxies.
Currently he is a postdoctoral fellow with the SIRTF IRS Team at Cornell.
Joao Rodrigo
Souza Leao [souza@stsci.edu]
Joao Rodrigo Souza Leao has joined the STScI as a PhD student in
August 2002, reporting to Claus Leitherer. The goal of his thesis is
to study the statistics of Wolf-Rayet stars in high-metallicity
starburst galaxies. Observations of an infrared-selected sample
of starburst galaxies in the optical and near-IR are currently
being collected. The data will be used to study how the IMF depends on
metallicity, and to investigate the
stellar content and test stellar evolution theory in high-metallicity
environments.
Claus
Leitherer [leitherer@stsci.edu]
Claus Leitherer has been with STScI since 1988. He is currently Associate
Astronomer in the JWST Division. His prime responsibility is
the support of MIRI. He is also a member of the Cosmic
Origins Spectrograph IDT, a future HST instrument which will be installed
in 2006.
Main scientific interests are
atmospheres and evolution of hot stars, resolved and unresolved massive
stellar populations, the stellar content and interstellar medium of star-forming
galaxies, starburst activity in galaxies, and spectrophotometric evolution
models of galaxies.
Lucimara
Martins [martins@stsci.edu]
Lucimara Martins joined STScI as a Ph.D. student in May 2002. She is
working with Claus Leitherer on the interpretation of low-luminosity AGN
with nuclear and circumnuclear starburst
contribution. The goal of the thesis is to use photoionization models to
identify the main processes powering the emission lines in these objects:
radiation from hot stars, shocks resulting from winds and supernovae, or
accretion onto the central black hole.
Ground-based spectra of about 40 AGN have been collected
and will be used to test the photoionization models.
Daniel Schaerer [schaerer@ast.obs-mip.fr]
Daniel Schaerer used to work at STScI, where he was instrumental in
implementing the isochrone synthesis technique in Starburst99. Currently
he is at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees (France). Main scientific interests
are massive star populations in starburst galaxies and their relation to
stellar evolution aspects, in particular to Wolf-Rayet stars. His website
can be visited at
Massive Stars in Galaxies.
Christy
Tremonti [tremonti@as.arizona.edu]
Christy Tremonti was a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
She is working with Daniela Calzetti, Claus Leitherer, and Tim Heckman
on the structure and evolution of starburst galaxies. Her main focus is
on the importance of inhomogeneities in interpreting starburst phenomena.
She is presently working on a detailed analysis of the structure and kinematics
of several local starbursts, using both optical and ultraviolet spectra.
In spring 2003 she moved to the University of Arizona as a postdoctoral fellow.
Gerardo
Vazquez [vazquez@stsci.edu]
Gerardo Vazquez joined STScI as a postdoc in fall 2001 to work on spectro-chemical evolution of galaxies. As part of his Ph.D. thesis, he developed a new chemical evolution code. His main interest are stellar populations in late-type and low-surface-brightness galaxies. Currently he is most interested in chemical aspects of massive stars, including supernovae, and how they relate to chemical evolution models of starburst galaxies.
