FIRST LIGHT

Born in Sevilla (Spain), Daniel Ceverino works on galaxy formation at high redshifts using cosmological hydro dynamical simulations, performed at the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) Supercomputing Centre. His general research interests include galaxy and star formation, as well as related feedback processes. His current project aims at the understanding of the first galaxies formed before the recombination era. These galaxies will be observed by future telescopes, like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and this project will make detailed predictions about the properties of these first proto-galaxies. Dr Ceverino was a ‘Juan de la Cierva’ post-doctoral fellow in the department of theoretical physics of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain). Previously, he did a Post-Doc at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) in the cosmology group of Prof. Avishai Dekel. In 2008, Dr Ceverino finished his PhD thesis at New Mexico State University (USA), under the supervision of Prof. Anatoly Klypin.
