Team
I am co-leading with Prof. Roberto Maiolino the Galaxy Formation and Evolution Group at the Department of Physics (Cavendish Laboratory) and at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge. We are a diverse team of researchers working on galaxy evolution with a wide range different approaches (imaging and spectroscopic data, numerical simulations and analytical theory). Our postdocs and students have a wide range of different educational backgrounds, including astronomy, physics, mathematics, computer science, and data science. You can find more information on our team website.
