Dr. Tobias Géron

I obtained my PhD from the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. I studied how galaxies evolve, with a focus on the effects that strong and weak bars have on their host galaxies. I was also very involved in Galaxy Zoo, a citizen science project that used volunteer classifications to obtain morphologies for a large number of galaxies. I am currently a Rubin Fellow at the University of Toronto. I will help develop software and new research tools for the Transient and Variable Star Collaboration to make research with data coming from Rubin LSST easier and more accessible. I will also be continuing my own research on galaxy evolution and kinematics.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. For more information.
