Jose I. Vines

I’m an astronomer working on exoplanets — mostly stellar characterisation and the statistical machinery that turns noisy photometry and spectra into planet detections. I built astroARIADNE for Bayesian SED fitting and contribute to a handful of tools across the exoplanet pipeline.

Day-to-day I split time between research and industry: I’m a postdoc at Universidad Católica del Norte and lead Data & AI work in the private sector. The through-line is the same — inference from messy data, careful about uncertainty, shipped as software that other people actually use.

I’m a taekwondo martial artist — first-degree black belt under ATA | BEKHO, legacy program — and an amateur photographer with a soft spot for nature, wildlife, and the night sky.
