I am an observational extragalactic astronomer specialized in the study of star formation and the interstellar medium in highly star-forming (or starburst) galaxies. I study these galaxies using some of the most advances telescopes in the world, including the ESO Very Large Telescope in Paranal, Chile, as well as the Hubble Space Telescope and the new, exciting JWST. Below is a list of some of the projects I have either led or been involved in over the last few years.
James Webb Space Telescope
I have been fortunate enough to lead a succesful application to observe with the JWST during its first year of operation, and have been involved in a couple of other JWST programs. See more here.
Ionizing galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
Finding and studying galaxies that leak Lyman continuum (LyC) light into intergalactic Space is difficult and requires a lot of resources, escpecially expensive telescope time, so when studying these galaxies, we want to optimize the chances that we actually find escaping LyC light in them.
Something something JWST, and also some Haro 11. And some The Sunburst Arc. And perhaps some UVUDF stuff.
