Professor Dr. Roberto Abraham

Biography

Roberto Abraham is a Professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. He earned his Ph.D. in 1992 from the University of Oxford. His research focuses on high redshift galaxies, the evolution and morphology of galaxies, and observational cosmology. He employs technological advances to answer critical questions about galaxy evolution over the last 11 billion years. His work includes the development of a novel telescope array in New Mexico aimed at imaging faint structures in nearby galaxies and using adaptive optics on large telescopes to study the evolution of galaxy sizes across cosmic time. This innovative approach helps map ideas surrounding the fundamental physics of galaxy evolution, contributing significantly to the field of astronomy.
