About
E. Kajfasz is a key figure in the development of next-generation robotic telescopes and their instrumentation, dedicated to the study of the transient universe. Their primary research focuses on the design, construction, and optimization of systems for the rapid follow-up of cosmic explosions, particularly Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). Kajfasz’s major contributions center on the COLIBRI 1.3-meter robotic telescope and its near-infrared camera, CAGIRE. They have been instrumental in defining the telescope’s wide-field capabilities and in developing the critical flux reconstruction methods for CAGIRE, which is based on the Astronomical Large Format Array (ALF). This instrumentation is specifically designed to respond to alerts from the SVOM satellite, enabling quick imaging of transient sources. While their most cited works (with 4-6 citations each) are recent, they represent foundational technical papers for a major new facility. Kajfasz’s work is crucial for advancing our ability to monitor the sky across multiple messengers—photons, neutrinos, and gravitational waves—placing them at the forefront of time-domain astrophysics.
