Ramón y Cajal contract to develop his research work in the specific research project "Numerical Simulations of Galaxy Formation and Evolution"

An sizable fraction of present-day astrophysics is based on physical models of stellar atmospheres, which allow us to interpret observations of planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies. Traditionally, these models adopt a series of simplifying assumptions, including Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium (LTE), implying that matter and radiation are in

The William Herschel Telescope (WHT) has been a key player in the take-off of Spanish astronomy in the last 25 years. With the access of the Spanish community to 8-10 m (VLT, GTC) telescopes, the WHT's role is specializing in offering what major telescopes can not: large field-of-view instrumentation. In response to calls from ASTRONET and other

Galaxy evolution is one of the hot topics in Astrophysics that have shown tangible progress in the last years. This has been mostly due to advent of large telescopes, both ground based and in space, with state-of-the-art instruments, equipped with high sensitive detectors. They have made possible acquiring the deepest surveys in different

SUNDIAL (SUrvey Network for Deep Imaging Analysis & Learning) is an ambitious interdisciplinary network of nine research groups in The Netherlands, Germany, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Italy. The aim of the network is to develop novel algorithms to study the very large databases coming from current-day telescopes to
