Research interests

During my doctoral studies my research has focused on the formation and evolution of galaxies in a cosmological context. I have expertise in performing and analysing numerical simulations. In particular, my work has been mainly devoted to the analysis of the structure and kinematics of early-type galaxies using self-consistent hydrodynamical simulations.

The aim of my research is to grasp a better understanding of the formation and evolutionary processes of galaxies. A key aspect of this research is the comparison of the results from the simulations with the observations.

Keywords: Formation and evolution of galaxies. Dynamics and structure of their stellar, gaseous and dark matter components. N-body and hydrodynamical simulations.
