Frédérick Poidevin

Dr. Frédérick Poidevin is a researcher affiliated with the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain, focusing on Galactic and extragalactic astrophysics. His work integrates observational and theoretical approaches to study magnetic fields in star-forming regions, supernova progenitors, gravitational lensing, and transient phenomena. He collaborates on major projects like the JCMT BISTRO survey (magnetic fields in molecular clouds) and Euclid mission (cosmological analyses). His research also addresses the anomalous microwave emission in the Milky Way and Andromeda, using QUIJOTE and other multi-wavelength facilities.

• Key Projects: BISTRO Survey, Euclid Q1 Release, LensWatch Supernova Cosmology, LCO transient follow-up
• Expertise: Gamma-ray bursts, supernova cosmology, interstellar medium dynamics, gravitational lens modeling

He leads observational campaigns using facilities like the Liverpool Telescope, GTC, and JWST. Recent work includes discovery reports of transients, time-delay analyses for strongly lensed SNe (e.g., SN Zwicky), and studies of eruptive mass loss in superluminous SNe. His contributions bridge radio, submillimeter, and optical astronomy to address fundamental questions in cosmic magnetism and dark energy.

Grants and collaborations involve international networks like the STSM Mobility Program and YRI Conference Grants. He contributes to open-source astronomy tools and has pioneered methods for analyzing lensed SN datasets to refine cosmological parameters.
