Alejandro S. Borlaff

I am a NASA STA Researcher ** at the Ames Research Center, in California, USA. I am a member of **European Space Agency next flagship mission, the Euclid space telescope. In addition, I am a member of the NASA/DLR SOFIA Legacy Program for the study of Magnetic Fields in Galaxies, and the author of the FIR map of the magnetic field in M51 (press, NASA, APOD). I finished my PhD at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC Resident Astrophysicists PhD Programme 2014), focusing in the development of new in-orbit calibration methods for the Hubble Space Telescope, creating the deepest image of the Universe ever done from space (press, 2019). I have an extensive background in galactic and extragalactic research. I am skilled in data analysis and statistics. My main field of work is observational methods and image processing, specially from space telescopes (Hubble Space Telescope).

I have participated in more than 50 observing nights in four observatories, including the commisioning, support and operations of multiple astronomical instruments at the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) at the Observatory of Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma), and the NASA/DLR Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA).
