Mathieu Puech
Welcome to my (forever-in-construction) web-page!
Astrophysicist / Astronomer
Since 2022, I am an «Astronome» (equivalent to a professorship position in astronomy) at GEPI, one of the Paris Observatory labs. I am working on galaxy formation and evolution and share my time between astronomical research, instrument development, and teaching.
You can (try to) find me at the Meudon Observatory, «Grands Communs» building, Office #163 (2nd floor, Paris aisle).
Check out whether I’ll go to your meeting there.
Activities
Research
I am interested in galaxy formation and evolution, and in particular in how galaxies evolved during the past 8 Gyr (i.e., since z~1).
Instrumentation
I've been involved in different instrument projects for the future Europen Extremely Large Telescope currently built in Chile by ESO.
Teaching
I'm responsible for the general audience campus-based Teaching Track of the Paris Observatory.
