‣ Research achievements
My scientific research is in the extragalactic field. It focuses on both observational and theoretical
aspects of the structure, formation, and evolution of galaxies, in groups and clusters, based on
imaging and spectroscopy, in the optical and near-infrared wavelength range. From 2014, I
became a leading expert in deep wide-field imaging and, from 2016, I gained similar experience
with spectroscopy, guiding several large projects. The major achievements are obtained in the LSB
science, i.e. structure of the stellar halos and intra-cluster light, detection and analysis of dwarf
galaxies and UDGs.
