About

Carles Badenes is a leading astrophysicist whose research centers on stellar populations, supernovae, and the evolution of galaxies, with a particular focus on leveraging large-scale spectroscopic surveys. He is a key figure in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V), a monumental project pioneering panoptic spectroscopy—the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. His major contributions include shaping the survey’s scientific goals and methodology, enabling unprecedented mapping of the Milky Way and beyond. Badenes’s work on SDSS-V, detailed in his highly cited paper "Sloan Digital Sky Survey. V. Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy" (2025, 25 citations), highlights his role in advancing our understanding of stellar and galactic evolution through massive datasets. His impact is evident in the survey’s ability to capture multi-epoch spectra across both hemispheres, a feat that transforms how astronomers study transient phenomena and stellar demographics. Badenes’s achievements underscore his dedication to open-access, community-driven science, making him a pivotal figure in modern observational astrophysics.
