BENITEZ LLAMBAY ALEJANDRO
- U02, Floor: 2, Room: 2009
Biography
Dr Benitez-Llambay is an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milan, Italy. His research intersects numerical cosmology, galaxy formation at the smallest scales, and 21 cm radio observations. Before arriving in Milan, he served as an Assistant Professor at the Astronomical Observatory of Córdoba, Argentina, and conducted research at the University of Victoria, Canada, and the Institute for Computational Cosmology in Durham, UK.
He tackles research challenges using advanced computational methods and large-scale cosmological simulations. He also develops high-performance software for creating and analyzing these datasets.
Additionally, Dr Benitez-Llambay is involved in major international collaborations focused on producing advanced hydrodynamical numerical models of galaxy formation within a cosmological context and exploring cosmological probes at the smallest scales using cutting-edge ground and space-based facilities.
