Siddharth Kumar

I am a PhD student at Chalmers University of Technology. My thesis concerns the reconstruction of Galactic magnetic fields in 3D using stellar polarimetry.

I received my MSc and Bsc in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, India, in 2022.

Yenifer Angarita

I am a Postdoc at the division of Astronomy and Plasma Physics of at Chalmers University of Technology. I primarily investigate the Galactic magnetic field and the interstellar medium (ISM) through starlight polarization and various ISM tracers. I am also interested in star formation and the chemical evolution of star-forming regions.

I have a PhD in Astrophysics from Radboud University, the Netherlands, and a M.Sc. by research in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. My personal website: this location.

Danielle Sponseller

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Astronomy and Plasma Physics division at Chalmers University of Technology. My research primarily focuses on modeling polarized Galactic foregrounds at small scales for cosmic microwave background experiments targeting inflation.

I received my Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Johns Hopkins University in 2024. My advisors were Alan Kogut and Charles Bennett. Prior to that, I received bachelor's degrees in Physics and Mathematics from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Alice Knutas

I am a PhD student at the division of Astronomy and Plasma Physics at Chalmers University of Technology. My thesis is focused on how cosmic rays propagate in the ISM of galaxies and how to infer properties such as the diffusion coefficient using radio observations and galaxy simulations. I received by Msc and Bsc in Astronomy from Stockholm University in Stockholm, Sweden in 2024.
