My expertise covers spectral energy distribution fitting, implementing machine learning algorithms for astrophysical data, spectroscopic redshift measurements, and optical counterparts for gamma ray burst (it was a topic of my master thesis and a part of my PhD thesis). I am also a dedicated supervisor. I particularly enjoy working with young researchers and inspiring them to pursue a scientific career. My current research activities focus on modelling spectral energy distribution of galaxies observed from optical to far infrared wavelengths. I am mostly working with infrared detected galaxies; I enjoy engaging in public outreach activities, where I can tell other people about my passion.

Science interests:

My research interests comprise theoretical and observational cosmology, gravitational lensing and gravitational waves. In particular I'm interested in development of new cosmological probes alternative or complementary to the standard ones like SNIa, BAO and CMB. Such new probes could be strong gravitational lensing systems combined with stellar kinematics of lensing galaxies, miliarcsecond compact radio sources of intermediate luminosity, QSOs observed in UV and X-ray calibrated as standard candles, cosmic chronometers or standard sirens (gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binary systems). Currently I'm interested in testing various aspects of accelerated expasnion of the Universe (so called dark energy problem), determination of cosmic curvature from local cosmological probes and testing General Relativity against modified gravity theories. My past interests comprised: multidimensional cosmological models, theory and applications of dynamical systems and invariant description of deterministic chaos in General Relativity.

My research focuses on distant galaxy formation and evolution. In other words, I am curious about the life of massive galaxies in the Universe, from the earliest cosmic times after the Big Bang to the present day. In my research, I unite theoretical models and panchromatic observations with the largest telescopes (e.g., NOEMA, JCMT, ALMA) in order to tackle some of big questions, such as: how the dust, gas and metals in galaxies evolve over cosmic time. I am a PI of NCN SONATA16 funded project Dusty Giants, which explores large-scale environments of dusty galaxies at high-redshifts. Beside astrophysics and cosmology, I am also professionally involved in the field of science communication as a lecturer and author.

My main field of interest is the formation of stars in galaxies. On one side, I am studying the impact of Galactic ionised (HII) regions on the observed young stellar objects at their edges. As 30% of high-mass star formation is found to be located around HII regions, my goal is to understand if triggered star-formation is likely to occur and if it leads preferentially to the formation of high-mass stars. On the other side, I am working with galaxies at low-redshift (z<1) with the aim of obtaining their star-formation rates and understanding their star-forming properties.

My research is mainly focused around dusty galaxies. These galaxies exhibit large reservoirs of dust grains in their interstellar media, enveloping their cold molecular clouds where stars are born. Dust is one of the most crucial components of galaxies and it plays a vital role in their evolution. I use spectral energy distribution modeling to recover the physical properties of these galaxies. This encompasses all the physical and chemical complexities that are behind the progenitors of the galaxies that we observe in our local Universe. I use Herschel-detected galaxies from the HELP catalogue, coupled with observations from ALMA. This is allowing us to investigate dust and its manifestation in galaxies at different redshifts, and therefore to study closely attenuation laws - a key element to investigate giant and infrared-bright galaxies. Additionally, I am interested in star formation processes and star formation history scenarios.

Science interests:

My interests lie in galaxy formation and evolution and galaxy scale star formation: I want to know why galaxies look the way they do. To do this I examine the statistical properties of galaxies and explore what influences these properties. This is done by using multi-wavelength data, from UV to the sub-mm, to derive the physical properties of galaxies, such as star formation rates or morphologies. I also work at the interface of observations and simulations, comparing what we see with what we think we should be seeing. To do this, I employ a number of different techniques including spectral-energy density (SED) fitting, statistical modelling, image processing and machine learning.

Science interests:

My main interests regard the study of dusty primeval galaxies populating the early Universe and their link to present-day sources, that is fundamental to investigating the processes driving galaxy formation and evolution. Specifically, I want to know how much dust hides in obscured galaxies and how it affects the estimate of their physical properties, like stellar masses and star-formation rates. To do this, I combine multi-wavelength data, from the UV to the sub-mm, from different space and ground telescopes (e.g., HST, ALMA, Spitzer), to do spectral-energy distribution (SED) fitting and morpho-kinematic analysis. I am part of the DINGLE project (PI Ambra Nanni) which aims to model the formation of dust around evolved stars, using this information to characterize different kinds of galaxies by comparing models and observations through cosmic time.

My primary focus is on DIMS, where I have been working on developing instruments, conducting data analysis, and managing operations. Located in Utah’s Sievert Desert at the Telescope Array Experiment facilities, DIMS cameras observe the night sky with the goal of detecting interstellar meteors and a hypothetical form of dark matter known as "nuclearites" or "macros". Additionally, I contribute to the data analysis for the “Multiwavelength Imaging New Instrument for the Extreme Universe Space Observatory” (Mini-EUSO), a highly sensitive telescope aboard the International Space Station. It maps the night-time Earth in the near UV range, aiming to validate the JEM-EUSO program’s observational principle of a space-based detector for Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) measurements. Mini-EUSO is also capable of detecting meteors and upper-atmospheric lightning phenomena, such as ELVES. Previously, I was involved in data analysis for the EUSO-SPB1 experiment, which aimed to observe ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray extensive air showers by looking down at the atmosphere with an ultraviolet fluorescence telescope from a suborbital altitude.
