Andrés Izquierdo is a NASA Sagan Fellow and computational astrophysicist based at the University of Florida who builds modelling and data-analysis tools to connect observations and theory in star and planet formation. With eight years of research experience and a PhD in Astrophysics from Leiden, he focuses on detecting kinematic and molecular-line signatures of young planets embedded in protoplanetary discs and characterizing their physical and dynamical environments. His work blends high-resolution observational data, numerical modeling, and statistical inference to reveal how nascent planets shape disc structure and the diversity of planetary systems. Andrés has trained across leading European institutions including ESO and Leiden, and brings practical software and reproducible-analysis practices to complex astrophysical problems. Beyond typical publications, he maintains an active public research profile (https://andizq.github.io) that surfaces code and diagnostics used to link theory with observable signatures.
