Anthony Flores
Ph.D. Student in Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioI am a Physics PhD Candidate performing research in X-ray Astrophysics within KIPAC and the XOC group. My primary interests surround the evolutionary history of galaxy clusters traced by X-ray observations of the Intracluster Medium. I measure the dynamical, thermodynamical, and chemical properties of clusters as a function of spatial scale and redshift to test models of self-similar evolution and chemical enrichment in the presence of feedback from sources such as AGN.

Philipp Frank
Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
BioPhilipp Frank is an Astronomy and Machine Learning researcher who is developing and applying statistical and ai methods to help deepen our understanding of the structure of the Milky Way and the Cosmos. He did his PhD and a followup Postdoc in Germany at Ludwig Maximilians University and the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics where he worked on probabilistic ML and numerical inference methods and contributed to applications ranging from radio interferometry, X- and gamma-ray imaging, Cosmic Ray air-shower reconstructions, and 3d maps of the dust and gas content of our local Galactic neighborhood.
As a KIPAC Fellow at Stanford he aims to push 3D mapping of the interstellar medium to unprecedented scales in both size and resolution, and incorporate multiple additional tracers for a more comprehensive picture of local structures. This aims to shed light on the mechanisms of star formation and galaxy dynamics across scales only accessible through our unique vantage point within the Galaxy.
