About

Igor Chilingarian is a leading astrophysicist whose research centers on galaxy evolution, stellar populations, and the dynamics of supermassive black holes. He is best known for pioneering panoptic spectroscopy through the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V), the first all-sky, multiepoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey, which is revolutionizing our understanding of galaxy formation across cosmic time. Chilingarian’s major contributions include developing novel techniques to extract kinematic and chemical signatures from integrated light, enabling precise measurements of black hole masses and galaxy merger histories. His work has garnered over 25,000 citations, reflecting its profound impact on the field. Notably, he led the discovery of a new class of compact stellar systems and has been instrumental in advancing multiobject spectroscopy at both the 2.5 m Sloan Foundation Telescope and facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. A recipient of multiple international awards, Chilingarian continues to shape modern astrophysics by bridging observational surveys with theoretical models, making him a pivotal figure for students and researchers studying galaxy assembly and black hole coevolution.
