José Ortuño-Macías is a Ph.D. candidate at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (CAMK) in Warsaw.
The supervisor of his doctoral work is Prof. Krzysztof Nalewajko.
The topic of his Ph.D. regards kinetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations of particle acceleration mechanisms required for explaining the non-thermal emission observed from jets of active galactic nuclei. The results of his previous works are presented in the following papers: "Radiative kinetic simulations of steady-state relativistic magnetic reconnection" (DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1899) and "Kinetic simulations of current-driven instabilities in relativistically magnetized jets" (DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac6acd)
