SUMMARY:Bridging Gaps in Stellar Population Synthesis
DESCRIPTION:Bridging Gaps in Stellar Population Synthesis\nDr. Gustavo Bruz
 ual\n\n\n\n\nStellar population synthesis has reached a high degree of sop
 histication that has been exploited to understand to a certain extent the 
 mechanisms of formation, assembling, and evolution of galaxies in our univ
 erse. Progress is based on solid results in the field of stellar evolution
  and spectrophotometric observations of large numbers of stars and galaxie
 s. However, there are certain phases of stellar evolution, like the therma
 lly pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase, the Wolf-Rayet stage, 
 and the presence of interacting binaries, whose treatment is either ignore
 d or extremely simplified in galaxy evolution models due to the uncertaint
 ies in their description. In this talk I will present results from models 
 that add the state of the art in the treatment of these evolutionary phase
 s to traditional population synthesis models. \n\n\n
