I am a postdoctoral researcher in astrophysics, funded by the joint ESO committee. I work alongside Professor Evelyn Johnston. I study the baryonic component of galaxies with different sizes and morphologies in the Local Universe and located in different environments: groups or clusters of galaxies
Current Position: Postdoctoral researcher
Projects:
I focus on the properties of their stellar populations as a whole, but also using tracers of their evolution, such as globular clusters and stellar nuclear clusters. The goal is to understand how galaxies acquire their mass over time. Previously, I have focused on the Fornax galaxy cluster, with a photometric approach at multiple wavelengths, in the optical and infrared. Studying dwarf galaxies, globular clusters, and stellar nuclear clusters. The current project aims to investigate lenticular and dwarf galaxies with MUSE data. Using the BUDDI software that decomposes the structures within the galaxy, but in particular including a component to the software to extract the spectrum of the majority of globular clusters in their parent galaxy.
