Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez is an Associate Professor at the Instituto de Radioastronomía y Astrofísica (IRyA) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in Morelia. He previously served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. His research focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, cosmological simulations, and data analysis.
- PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics from Harvard University (2016), with a Secondary Field in Computer Science and Engineering.
- AM in Astronomy from Harvard University (2012).
- Bachelor's in Physics from UNAM (2009).
His key research interests include galaxy mergers, hydrodynamics, and morphological diagnostics. He has developed software tools like statmorph for galaxy morphology analysis and SubLink for merger tree analysis in simulations. Rodriguez-Gomez has authored/co-authored 68 refereed publications and holds grants from NASA, XSEDE, and UNAM.
Recent work emphasizes cosmological simulations (e.g., IllustrisTNG), exploring merger dynamics, black hole impacts, and galaxy cluster evolution. He has advised three graduate students and serves as an academic referee for journals like the Astrophysical Journal and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Outreach activities include popular media features in Scientific American and The Atlantic, and public talks on cosmological simulations and galaxy evolution.
