Emeric Bron, Postdoctoral researcher at Instituto de Física Fundamental (IFF, CSIC).
Research interests:
• Stellar retroactions on molecular clouds, photo-dissociation regions, H2 physics in the ISM, and surface processes on dust.
• Coupled chemistry, radiative transfer and hydrodynamics modeling of molecular clouds. Stochastic modeling approaches for fluctuation problems.
• Interpretation of IR (Herschel, ISO, Spitzer), radio (IRAM-30m, PdB, ALMA), and UV (FUSE) observations with astrophysical models
• Preparation of JWST observations of the ISM
• Machine learning and Big Data methods applied to ISM studies.
