Dr. Rodrigo ReevesRodrigo Reeves works in research and development of leading technologies for their use in astronomy, their potential in other scientific areas and applications of broad interest. He is the head of CePIA (Center for Astronomical Instrumentation) at UdeC, where the development of astronomical instruments take place, covering frequencies from the radio through the sub-millimeter or low-Terahertz. He has worked intensively on the characterization and use of HEMT transistors for low noise amplification and their integration in monolithic form (MMICs). He has participated in observational projects related to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using radio-interferometry (CBI and CBI2) and also with radio-cameras (QUIET Q- and W-bands). Currently, he is involved in an AGN blazar monitoring program using the 40m telescope at OVRO/Caltech, with the aim of understanding jet formation processes and trying to establish the emission regions within the jet at different wavelengths. Rodrigo Reeves obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering from UdeC. He was postdoc at Caltech between 2009 and 2011. In 2012 he was hired as senior scientist in the same institute, position he held for 2 years. He joined the UdeC Astronomy Department as an assistant professor in April 2014.
