The main focus of my research is the study of stellar mass in
galaxies, in particular: calibration of stellar mass photometric
estimators, including testing of stellar population synthesis models;
resolved studies of the stellar mass distribution, using imaging,
integral field spectroscopy (in collaboration with CALIFA), infrared
data constraining the amount and properties of dust (in collaboration
with KINGFISH and HeViCS). How the stellar mass density influences and
is related to the internal physics of galaxies and hence their
evolution is the key scientific question I am addressing in my
research.
On this topic I am also contributing to the study of high-redshift
galaxies with deep near infrared imaging (VLT/HAWK-I) and deep
high-resolution optical/near-infrared spectra (VLT/X-SHOOTER)in
collaboration with colleagues in Germany and Denmark.
I am actively investigating the properties of QSO host galaxies, in
particular by means of imaging stacking, in order to derive the
fundamental scaling relations between supermassive black holes and
galaxy properties on large samples of several thousands objects.
Other projects to which I am currently contributing include:
photometric and spectroscopic studies of galaxy counterparts of QSO
absorbing systems; deep imaging studies of stellar halos of galaxies
and intracluster light (which where also the focus of my PhD thesis);
the dependence of galaxy properties on multiscale environmental
density.
