NUCLEOSYNTHESIS-Part I

RED is a Training School about the “Basics in Astrobiology”. Astrobiology addresses questions related to the origins of life, its evolution, and distribution in the Universe. This school aims to offer an interdisciplinary training in astrobiology to students and young researchers having a master’s degree in astronomy, planetology, geology, chemistry, biology, or history and philosophy of science. If you are preparing a thesis or are an early career scientist with a subject related to astrobiology, this training school is for you! Each year, the “in-person” edition of the school is held in March in Le Teich (France). In June, a virtual school with the same program is also organized.

Ana Palacios is specialized in stellar evolution modelling and have been studying the impact of transport processes of matter and angular momentum on the evolution and nucleosynthesis of stars of all kinds of masses, from solar-type stars to massive O and WR stars. In the way she has also explored 3D MHD simulations to gain insight on transport processes. She is involved in the Stellar Physics part of the PLATO mission, and happen to be particularly interested in low-metallicity massive stars lately.
