Dr. Elena Sacchi
I joined the AIP in November 2020 as part of the Milky Way and Local Volume group, working on the formation and evolution of galaxies in the nearby Universe through the analysis of their resolved stellar populations.
Since January 2024 I started a new position in the Supercomputing and E-Science group.
