Dr. Jhon Yana Galarza

Hello and welcome to my website! 

I am an astrophysicist, currently a Carnegie Fellow at The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science until January 2026.  After that, I will be joining the faculty of the Department of Astronomy at the Universidad de Concepción in Chile.

I use high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra to derive precise stellar parameters and chemical abundances of solar-type stars and wide binary systems. My research explores the star–planet connection, refines exoplanet properties, and investigates the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk.

I hope you will take a moment to look around and enjoy learning about my work. Thanks for visiting!
