Areas of Interest I am currently studying whether the most energetic AGN activity plays a regulating role in the star formation of the most massive galaxies. I am also interested in the search for intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) and their role in the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). |

Areas of Interest My main area of research is extragalactic radio astronomy. I've worked on radiative processes in galaxies, specifically, on the detection of Anomalous Microwave Emission. I am also interested in radio astronomy instrumentation design and radio telescopes operation. |

Areas of Interest I work on massive and dense molecular clumps where massive stars form. I use multi-line molecular surveys to characterize the physical and chemical properties of early stage (pre-stellar) clumps to HII regions. |

Areas of Interest My work focuses mainly in the confirmation and characterization of transiting exoplanet candidates from NGTS and TESS using high-precision radial velocities through high-resolution echelle spectrographs such as FEROS and HARPS. To this end I’ve also studied stellar characterization through stellar SED fitting using publicly available broad-band photometry and several libraries of stellar atmospheric models. |
