Martino Romaniello’s home page

 
 
I
am an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), stationed at the Headquarters in Garching bei München (Germany). Before joining ESO I was at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore (MD) and at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where I got my PhD in October 1998.



Munich is a very nice city to live in, but it has notoriously terrible weather. This is why we have placed our telescopes in Northern Chile, where the sky is (virtually) always perfect (pictured here is the rather impressive Paranal Observatory in the Atacama desert).


Here in Garching I share my working time between my functional duties as responsible for ESO’s Data Product Department and my own scientific research. Speaking of which, if you are an astronomer you might be interested in this web site of our collaboration on star formation and young stellar populations.
