Sandra Raimundo

Sandra Raimundo is an Assistant Professor and External Researcher at the Niels Bohr Institute, DARK Centre for Cosmology, University of Copenhagen, and concurrently serves as a Lecturer in Astronomy at the University of Southampton since July 2020.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Astronomy, University of Cambridge (awarded February 18, 2012)

Dr. Raimundo's research spans observational astrophysics with core expertise in black holes, active galactic nuclei (AGN), and galaxy evolution. She investigates photometric variability of AGN in dwarf galaxies, tidal disruption events, changing-look AGN phenomena, and AGN feedback effects on host galaxies using multi-wavelength observations and time-domain surveys.

Her recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate concentrated work in time-domain astrophysics, featuring studies on variable AGN in dwarf galaxies, disk reprocessing in tidal disruption events, and supernova progenitor evolution. These works frequently emerge from large international collaborations such as the Young Supernova Experiment and Pan-STARRS.

She is an integral member of the DARK Centre for Cosmology, which conducts cutting-edge research on dark matter, dark energy, and cosmological structure formation. Her observational work directly contributes to the center's mission of advancing fundamental cosmic understanding through empirical evidence.
