Assistant Research, Universidade do Porto I am a researcher at Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (IA) in Porto. I got my first degree in Physics/Applied Mathematics (Astronomy) by the University of Porto in 2007. In 2008 completed the Mathematics Triplos with distinction at the University of Cambridge (UK). In 2012 obtained a PhD from the University of Portsmouth (UK). After my graduation at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, I worked in Ciência Viva (PT), University of the Western Cape in South Africa, Università Degli Studi di Padova and Queen Mary University of London. I have been a member of IA since 2021. My current research interests focuses in studying the large-scale structure of the Universe in the optical and radio frequencies to understand the composition, formation and evolution of the universe and test General Relativity at cosmological scales. I am interested in using the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, and its precursor MeerKAT, in the radio and Euclid in the optical/infrared to probe the very early universe.
Maître de conférence en physique des astroparticules, Université Paris-Saclay Jonathan Biteau est maître de conférence et mène ses recherches au Laboratoire Irène Joliot-Curie de physique des deux infinis (IJCLab, Univ. Paris-Saclay, CNRS/IN2P3). Il enseigne la physique numérique, les astroparticules, l'astrophysique, la physique des particules et la physique nucléaire. Depuis 2015, il étudie dans la collaboration Pierre Auger les directions d'arrivée des rayons cosmiques d'ultra-haute énergie, qui ont permis en 2017 de valider leur origine extragalactique. Il a également été membre des collaborations d'astronomie gamma H.E.S.S. et VERITAS, et est un membre actif du consortium CTA depuis 2010. Il s'est spécialisé dans la variabilité des AGN à jet ainsi que dans les interactions entre les rayons gamma et le fond diffus extragalactique. Enfin, Jonathan Biteau contribue activement au développement d'instruments pour la physique des astroparticules, particulièrement pour les caméras qui équiperont les télescopes de taille moyenne du réseau de télescopes CTA-Nord.
