Sandro Tacchella

Deputy Director, Kavli Institute for Cosmology

Sandro Tacchella is an associate professor at the University of Cambridge, based at Cavendish Laboratory and the Kavli Institute for Cosmology. His research focuses on how galaxies form and evolve across cosmic time, with a particular emphasis on the first galaxies in the early Universe. He uses observations from the James Webb Space Telescope and other major facilities, together with theoretical modelling and statistical inference, to study star formation, galaxy structure, black-hole growth, and the connection between galaxies and their dark-matter haloes.
