Marcelo Alvarez

Postdoctoral Fellow
Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics
University of Toronto

Research interests: cosmology; theoretical astrophysics; computational astrophysics; cosmological reionization; large-scale structure of the universe; formation of the first stars and black holes

Welcome to my little spot on the web. I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA), where I focus mainly on theoretical modeling of structure formation during the cosmic dark ages and the epoch of reionization, using analytical techniques and numerical simulations. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or just to say hello :-). Here are some stories that have appeared recently in the news about my work on the first black holes formed from stars. For more details on all of my work, check out my publications. Hopefully the poster and movie below will give you a better idea about my favorite subject, reionization...
