My main field of interest is modelling dust extinction and emission in the disk of spiral galaxies. Radiative transfer simulations are compared to optical, FIR and sub-mm observations to assess the dust mass, distribution relative to star and optical/emission properties.

Following a workshop we dedicated to the topic, I started a collaboration with other radiative transfer experts to both cross-validate the various radiative transfer codes available in the literature, and analyze the FIR/submm emission of edge-on galaxies observed by the satellite Herschel (HEROES & NHEMESES projects).

I'm a member of the HeViCS consortium, a Herschel Open Time Key Project to observe the Virgo Cluster.

I'm also interested in the formation, evolution and survival of dust grains in high-redshift objects, and in comparing the extinction / emission properties of dust with observations of distant sources.
