My research primarily focuses on the study of Low Surface Brightness galaxies (LSBs), particularly giant LSBs, ultra-diffuse galaxies, and dwarf galaxies. I use observations from UV and optical deep photometry (e.g., GALEX, CFHT, HSC), as well as spectroscopy and integral-field-unit (IFU) observations (e.g., VLT/MUSE), to investigate the properties of LSBs and dwarf galaxies. My interests are in understanding the formation of these galaxies (which is still debated!), the role of the environment in their evolution, and the mechanisms of star formation in low-density regimes. I am also interested in exploring their metallicity, dust, and gas properties using multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting methods. Additionally, I use machine learning techniques to identify low surface brightness and dwarf galaxies from large sky surveys. This is particularly important in the context of the vast discovery space opened by Euclid and LSST observations. I am also an active member of the Euclid and LSST collaborations. Currently, I am an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), where I work on dwarf galaxies using deep imaging and IFU observations.
