My research revolves around studying the structure and evolution of the Milky Way and its satellites. Specifically, I am interested in characterizing the chemical evolution of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projects<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My main project focuses on studying the chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Using spectroscopic analysis, I aim to investigate its stellar populations to trace their history and examine the role of interactions with the Milky Way. Additionally, I utilize&nbsp;stellar spectroscopy and chemical abundance analysis to study Galactic stellar populations, aiming to understand their history and evolution through techniques such as chemical clocks and age calibration methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I am an active member of the Pristine Survey and the Gaia Benchmark Star Collaboration-<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I participated in the ESO studentship program and a studentship at the Nordic Optical Telescope, where I worked as a student support astronomer.-<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My PhD is funded by an ANID scholarship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ui.adsabs.harvard.edu\/search\/fq=%7B!type%3Daqp%20v%3D%24fq_database%7D&amp;fq_database=(database%3Aastronomy%20OR%20database%3Aphysics)&amp;q=%20author%3A%22vitali%2C%20sara%22&amp;sort=date%20desc%2C%20bibcode%20desc&amp;p_=0\"><strong>NASA ADS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My PhD thesis titled &#8220;<strong>History and evolution of the interacting sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy and its stellar populations<\/strong>&#8221; can be found <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/sibudp.udp.cl\/ipac20\/ipac.jsp?session=E7U250R718204.10407&amp;profile=exter&amp;source=~!biblioteca&amp;view=subscriptionsummary&amp;uri=full=3100001~!169484~!8&amp;ri=1&amp;aspect=basic_search&amp;menu=search&amp;ipp=20&amp;spp=20&amp;staffonly=&amp;term=Instituto+de+Estudios+Astrofisicos&amp;index=.GW&amp;uindex=&amp;aspect=basic_search&amp;menu=search&amp;ri=1\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extracurricular activities<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am very keen on outdoor activities, such as trekking and climbing.
