Adrien C. R. Thob

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Physics & Astronomy of the University of Pennsylvania working with Prof. Robyn Sanderson. My scientific interests are oriented towards understanding the mechanisms that drove the formation of galaxies throughout the history of the Universe. I had a multidisciplinary career with a background in telecommunication and data processing engineering allowing me to acquire crucial skills in data science, high performance computing and software development that I have applied throughout my research. I grew up in Paris where I completed my MSc at the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon as part of my training with the engineering graduate school Telecom Bretagne (now known as IMT Atlantique). I then completed my PhD thesis at the Astrophysics Research Institute of Liverpool John Moores University under Prof. Rob Crain's advising. I formerly was a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Astronomy of the University of Washington working with Prof. Benjamin Williams.
