Ángel R. López-Sánchez

I am a Spanish-Australian astrophysicist and science communicator working at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Macquarie University (MQ), in Sydney (Australia). My research is focused in the analysis of star formation phenomena in galaxies of the Local Universe, especially in dwarf starbursts and spiral galaxies. I am also the president of the association of Spanish Researchers in Australia-Pacific (SRAP, https://srap-ieap.org). Outreach is a very important part of my work as a scientist. I was the first Spanish astronomer hosting a blog only dedicated to Astronomy, El Lobo Rayado ( http://angelrls.blogalia.com ), which was created in early 2004. Since 2011 I also maintain a blog in English, that now it is my main webpage (https://angelrls.com ), focused on publicising my scientific work and outreach activities in Australia. This is my personal YouTube Channel, where I compile the videos and animations I prepare for outreach purposes.
