About Alba

"Alba" is the Spanish word for dawn, but she has always been fond of dusk and the starry nights. As a matter of fate, Alba pursued a degree in astrophysics and is currently doing her PhD at the Cosmic Dawn group in the Observatory of Geneva. She studies very distant galaxies and is trying to understand how the first galaxies formed at the beginning of the universe. With a strong passion for education and science communication, she loves bringing science to the general public.
