Research: Massive stars, Stellar winds.
My name is Elisson Saldanha da Gama de Almeida (E. S. G. de Almeida) and I am PhD in “Sciences de la Planète et de l’Univers” at Laboratoire Lagrange/Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur (Université Côte d’Azur). I am a postdoctoral fellow (Fondecyt/ANID) supervised by Dr. Michel Curé at IFA/UV. I have experience in stellar astrophysics, especially in spectroscopy, interferometry, and radiative transfer modeling of massive hot stars (such as O, Be, LBV, and B-supergiant stars). To date, I have been co-supervising the PhD thesis of Gonzalo Aravena Rojas (advisor: Dr. Michel Curé) at IFA/UV and work as an ad hoc reviewer for The Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) and Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A). My research project at IFA/UV concerns the hydrodynamics of winds of massive hot stars in the context of the so-called weak wind phenomenon (also called “the weak wind problem”). In addition, I work with multi-wavelength interferometry and radiative transfer modeling of massive hot stars in close collaboration with researchers at Université Côte d’Azur (France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences South America Center for Astronomy (Chile).
