About me

Astronomer & Web developer

Hello, I am Dr. Roger Ianjamasimanana. I have a PhD in Astronomy, and I currently work as a postdoctoral fellow at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC). My primary research focus is the fate of gas in Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs). I am particularily interested in investigating how galaxies are preprocessed in group environment before falling into clusters. I have also done extensive work on modelling the kinematics of disk galaxies using 3D tools like TiRiFiC and pyFAT-astro.

Apart from Astronomy, I have a passion for web development. I have used the Django Python web framework to build this website. This is the fourth website that I have built, including an e-commerce website with PayPal as the payment gateway. I have used WebSockets to create a real-time code editor through a singularity container. In addition, I am proficient in managing PostgreSQL databases. Finally, I am familiar with front-end technologies like html, CSS, jQuery and AJAX to build beautiful, responsive, dynamic and interactive user interfaces.
