Research
My work centers on Galactic star formation, employing data mostly from ALMA, APEX, IRAM. I've also analyzed Gaia, Herschel, and Planck data.
I specialize in analyzing gas kinematics to characterize the gas velocity field and it's influence on star formation in filaments, molecular clouds, and protoclusters.
With the combination of multi-wavelengths analysis we are able to describe mass distributions, YSO astrometry, gas velocity gradients, and magnetic field orientations.
My goal is to set constraints on the different properties composing star formation environments.
Interest
My interest for star formation research leads me to the combination of multi-wavelength analysis. This allow us to have thorough characterization of a star forming region. More specifically, gas radial velocity data caught my interest during my early career, and it's part of my current (and hopefully future) research.
Get in touch
I'm always open to new projects and collaboration opportunities.
