He was awarded the 2015 National Prize for Exact Sciences, because of his work\u2019s great international impact.<\/p>\n
Dr. Hamuy is Full Professor of the FCFM\u2019s Department of Astronomy of Universidad de Chile and Cerro Cal\u00e1n Observatory, from which he has taken time off temporarily. Additionally, he has advised the Senate of Chile\u2019s Consejo del Futuro and was de Director of the Millennium Institute of Astrophysics until he assumed the Presidency of CONICYT.<\/p>\n
During his entire career he has worked along with CONICYT. He has been P.I of six Fondecyt Regular projects and sponsor of many post doctorate projects. Plus he was part and led Fondecyt\u2019s Superior Council of Sciences.<\/p>\n
Moreover, he was full researcher at Center for Excellence in Astrophysics and Associated Technologies CATA; and associate researcher at Fondap Center for Astrophysics, Cenastro.<\/p>\n
His scientific career, more than 30 years of experience, has been mainly focused in the study of globular clusters, active galaxies, spectrophotometric stars calibration, supernovae and cosmology, but also in the observation of different types of supernovae, specially Type Ia and Type II, as cosmic distance indicators.<\/p>\n
Dr. Hamuy was principal investigator at the Cal\u00e1n\/Tololo Project between 1990 and 1993, team that later in 1998 discovered the accelerating expansion of the Universe and the existence of a new component of dark energy that forms 70% of the entire energy of the Universe.<\/p>\n
He has also given countless of talks for science outreach, classes for public school teachers and talks for public and private schools, reaching more than 6,000 elementary and high school students.[\/fusion_text][fusion_text]<\/p>\n
