I am an astrophysicist within the
Laboratoire Franco-Chilien d'Astronomie (LFCA) (Unité Mixte Internationale of the CNRS)
hosted by the
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile's
Instituto de Astrofíca.
I defended my PhD thesis, entitled
"Optical Spectra of Thermonuclear Supernovae in the
Local and Distant Universe", at the
Ludwig-Maximilians Universität
(Munich, Germany) in November 2005.
During my postdoc at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) I founded the CfA Supernova Archive, where you can freely download light curves and spectra of many supernovae.
You can view my CV here [pdf]
