Hi! I'm a Astronomy PhD student at Georgia State University surveying the fundamental parameters and activity of K-dwarf stars in the Solar Neighborhood . I'm part of the RECONS and Fellow of the CHIRON spectrograph (R~80,000) mounted at the 1.5m CTIO/SMARTS telescope.
My name is Sebastián.
I grew up in Culiacán, Sin., México, where I also earned my Bachelor degree in Astronomy from
Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa.
I am an Astronomy PhD student at Georgia State University working with
Prof. Todd Henry as part of the
RECONS team.
Previous from entering a PhD program, I worked three years with Prof. Yilen Gómez-Maqueo Chew at
Instituto de Astronomía, UNAM,
and the SAINT-EX Observatory.
Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, digital art/graphic design and listening club music from
different scenes around the world.

My research focuses in characterizing K-Dwarf stars to uncover fundamental parameters, the frecuency on stellar activity, and how it varies with spectral type and age, by surving the ones existing in the Solar Neighborhood. This will help for future studies of the habitability of exoplanets around these stars. Click HERE to see my poster to Cool Stars 22 @ San Diego.
