Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolT Rivera-Thorsen is a pragmatic astrophysics researcher based in Stockholm with 11 years of experience probing the interstellar medium, feedback processes, and Lyman-alpha/ionizing emission from starburst galaxies across cosmic time. Currently funded by a Swedish Research Council Starter Grant, they specialize in extracting faint signals from gravitationally lensed, high-redshift galaxies and turning messy observational data into robust, publishable inference using Bayesian methods and nested sampling. Their track record includes successful JWST and Hubble observing proposals, a Science co-authored paper, and hands-on expertise in noise correction, dendrogram-based source extraction, and advanced observation planning. Comfortable alternating between leadership and supportive roles, they also mentor students, teach workshops, and communicate science to both specialists and the public. An early career background in teaching and technical support gives them a rare blend of rigorous quantitative modeling and approachable stakeholder communication.
