Mauro Stefanon graduated in Physics from the University of Pavia, Italy, and obtained his PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Valencia in 2011. He subsequently worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Missouri, USA (2012–2014), and at Leiden University, The Netherlands (2014–2022). Since 2022, he has been a CIDEGENT Distinguished Researcher in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. His main scientific interests focus on observational studies of galaxy formation and evolution in the early Universe, particularly on stellar mass formation and its connection to dark matter halos, using data from major observatories (JWST, ALMA, Euclid, HST). He has been a member of the Euclid Collaboration since 2022. In 2023, he was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant.
