3. Sep 2026 to Aug 2027 fellowship

   PhD research fellowship under the FCT project ArqueoGal

   CIAAUP-17/2026-BI-D · FCT, through project 2024.15303.PEX, hosted at IA · PI Tiago L. Campante

4. May 2026 proposal

   PLATO noise estimates for a blue-straggler guest-observer proposal (34 open clusters)

   Co-investigator

   Computed single-camera PLATO noise-to-signal ratios with the HAYDN Noise Estimator for blue stragglers in their host clusters, using Gaia DR3 fields and the PLATO camera configuration.

   • 124 blue stragglers in 34 host clusters, plus two anchor globular clusters; the target list came from the proposing collaborator.
   • The same Deucalion sweep covered all 36 clusters (34 hosts plus the anchors NGC 1851 and NGC 2298): one HNE run per cluster, 108 Slurm submissions including resubmissions.
   • Delivered as a data package with per-cluster dashboards and combined Gaia, StarHorse and noise tables.
   • Ran noise-to-signal simulations with the HAYDNsim pipeline, with the HAYDN Noise Estimator in its PLATO configuration.
5. May 2026 proposal

   PLATO noise estimates for the NGC 1851 red-giant guest-observer proposal

   Co-investigator

   Computed PLATO noise-to-signal ratios for the red giants of the globular cluster NGC 1851 with the HAYDNsim pipeline and the HAYDN Noise Estimator in its PLATO configuration.
6. May 2026 proposal

   PLATO noise estimates for accreted-star candidates for a guest-observer proposal

   Co-investigator

   Computed per-candidate PLATO noise-to-signal ratios and flux contamination for accreted-star candidates, each with its own Gaia DR3 field of contaminants.

   • 4,086 candidates, each with a 63 arcsec Gaia DR3 cone to G = 18.5, StarHorse and GSP-Phot parameters and a dedicated noise run.
   • Ran noise-to-signal simulations with the HAYDNsim pipeline, with the HAYDN Noise Estimator in its PLATO configuration.
