Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexis Lavail is a postdoctoral researcher and Thunberg Fellow at Uppsala University and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies, with 11 years of experience probing stellar magnetism and now extending that expertise to exoplanetary atmospheres. He combines observational astrophysics with hands-on instrumentation, having driven the CRIRES+ upgrade for the VLT—performing hardware testing, design reviews and AIT/AIV on a cryogenic high-resolution spectropolarimeter. His background spans multiwavelength campaigns and near-infrared spectroscopy of pre-main sequence and cool stars, and he has practical spaceflight engineering experience from leading delta-qualification for ESA’s ExoMars descent camera. Based in Toulouse and Sweden, Alexis blends rigorous systems engineering training (MSc, Observatoire de Paris) with deep observational know-how, making him adept at turning complex instrument requirements into operational science.
