Sergio Dzib

Assistant researcher at the Max-Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and part of the VLBI department. His main rol is withtin the frame of the project 'Mapping Magnetic Fields with INterferometry Down to Event hoRizon Scales' (M2FINDERS).

Sergio Abraham Dzib Quijano is a mexican astronomer who obtained his doctorate degree in December 2013 at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico and since April 2023 is an associate researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy (Bonn, Germany) in the VLBI group (Director: Prof. Dr. A. Zensus). He has also worked as an astronomer researcher at the IRAM headquarter (Grenoble, France) where his main duties were related to the implementation of full polarimetric observations of the NOEMA telescope, and as a postdoctoral researcher in the mm/sub-mm group (Director: Prof. Dr. K. M. Menten) of the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy.

He is an expert of radio interferometric observations with a solid experience in the use of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), primarily for stellar astrometry studies. His experience includes scheduling observations, calibration, imaging and analysis of interferometric data. His research covers stars, wind collision regions, and AGNs. Since 2020, he is an EHT collaborator member, thought he has being inolved in the project long before. He has being part of the observing teams in different EHT stations: CARMA (2013), LMT (2017, 2018), and NOEMA (2022), as well as part of the European EHT Array Operation Center (2023).
