Posted 27-Feb-2007
Santiago Patiri will be joining the Case Astronomy Department in Fall 2007
as a Research Associate. He will be working with Professor Idit Zehavi on different
aspects of large-scale structure and galaxy formation and evolution,
particularly as pertaining to the SDSS and other surveys.
A native of Argentina, Santiago has been doing a PhD in Astrophysics
at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias in Spain. He has been working
on various large-scale structure related projects at the interface of
theory and observations. Some of his research topics include studying the
statistics of cosmic voids, the dependence of galaxy properties on environment,
and the structure of dark matter halos. He has been analyzing the SDSS
and the 2dF surveys, as well as working with different simulations and
semi-analytic models.
