Darío González Picos

PhD candidate in exoplanet atmospheres at Leiden Observatory.
I am working on high-resolution spectroscopy in the group of Prof. Snellen.

About

I am a PhD candidate at Leiden Observatory (2023-2027), focusing on high-resolution spectroscopy of exoplanets, brown dwarfs, and cool stars. I work with both ground-based (e.g. VLT/CRIRES+) and space-based instruments (e.g. JWST/NIRSpec) to study the composition, thermal structure, and general atmospheric properties. My research focuses on the measurement of isotope ratios and their potential link to the formation pathways of planets and brown dwarfs.

What I Work On

Exoplanet Atmospheres

Investigating the composition, structure, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres with a focus on directly-imaged planets and brown dwarfs.

High-Resolution Spectroscopy

Conducting observations and analyzing high-resolution infrared spectra with ground- and space-based instruments.

Isotope Ratios

Measuring isotopic ratios in atmospheres of planets, brown dwarfs and cool stars to probe formation conditions and chemical evolution.

Data Reduction and Calibration

Developing and refining methods for processing astronomical observations.
