About my research: My principal research is focused on the study of resolved stellar populations and young stellar clusters in the Milky Way galaxy, stellar formation and variability. My recent research focuses on the properties of the lowest mass stars and coldest brown dwarfs. I am particularly interested in characterizing and understanding the cool atmospheres as well as searching for multiple systems and monitoring BD variability in order to understand atmospheric dynamics–essentially weather.

PhD: Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis, Francia
Research Area: Massive stars, Be and B[e] stars, stellar interferometry, radiative transfer

About my research: My main research area focuses on Be and B[e] stars. I mainly use VLTI the infrared interferometer located in the north of Chile. Interferometry is a unique technique that allows us to reach high angular resolution. Using this technique we are able not onlu to measure the size, but also the kinematics of celestial objects. Moreover I use different radiative transfer codes to analyse the observational data (SIMECA, MC3D, HDUST).
Teaching: Astrostatistics, IDL, Interferometry
