<i style="font-family: Garamond; font-size:25px"> z</i> = 5.83). This is the only quasar at such high
redhisfts with evidence for jets and we find that their synchrotron emission indeed affects
the far-infrared emission in the host galaxy, otherwise typically
dominated by cold dust.-->
It has been a great journey with JWST since its launch on December 25th, 2022. I participated in one of the most exciting finding so far probing the large-scale structure around a quasar in the Epoch of Reionization, look at all those <b><a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023ApJ...951L...5Y/abstract">galaxies!</a></b>

</header> <!--<h3 style='color:#ff9500'>The brightest blobs at the Edge of the Universe</h3>-->
<p>A long time ago, in a country far far away... I was a little girl watching <i><b>Cosmos</b></i> and
stargazing with my telescope. Becoming an astronomer like Carl Sagan seemed surreal
as back then I could not have achieved this dream in Colombia.
When I turned 16, I left my home and went to
the U.S. to prepare my university applications and fulfill my dream. I obtained a B.S. in Astronomy and
a B.S. in Physics at <b><a href= https://www.as.utexas.edu/ target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">
The University of Texas at Austin.</a></b>
I then moved to Germany and got my Ph.D.
from Heidelberg University and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy <b><a href=http://www.mpia.de/en target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">
(MPIA)</a></b>.<br>
<b>I love doing Astronomy research!</b> Now I am continuing my career as a postdoc at <b><a href="https://www.astro.ucla.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UCLA</a></b>.
What are the details of my journey and my other
hobbies? Well, it all started with...

I have lead different projects and telescope proposals focused on studying <b>galaxies and quasars</b>
in the high-redshift universe (<i style="font-family: Garamond; font-size:25px">z</i> ≳ 6),
or when the Universe was less than a Billion years old.
<!-- https://unicode-table.com/en/2273/ -->
<p> I have worked with different space-based and ground-based telescopes covering the optical/near-IR and radio
wavelengths.

<h2>Telescopes</h2>
</header>
<p>I absolutley <b>love telescopes and observing!</b>
<br> I have been very lucky to go on many observing trips and
learn to use a great variety of instruments. From space-based to optical/IR ground-based
to radio telescopes, I enjoy observing with them all.
As an <b>observational astronomer</b> I usually write a research proposal, get it
accepted (rejections are ok too), go to the telescope to take the data and learn to be sleep deprived
for the first few nights (although many times a telescope operator does the observations for me),
and finally do the science!
This process is one of the main motivators
I have to do astronomy.</p>

<h2>Outreach and Resources</h2>
</header>
<p> One of my passions is bringing awareness about astronomy to the Colombian community, as well as showcasing the work
Colombian astronomers do. I am part of the "Red de Estudiantes
Colombianos de Astronomía - <b><a href="https://www.astroreca.org/en" target="_blank"
rel="noreferrer noopener">RECA</a></b>" (Network of Colombian
Astronomy Students).
We build a lot of programs for Colombian students in schools and
universities wanting to study and do research in Astronomy.
<br> Here are a compilation of resources based on my personal experience.
Always happy to <b><a href="contactme.html">chat!</a></b>
