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).

About my research: I work in a wide range of projects covering different state-of-the-art lines of research. These days I am working with the ALMA telescope to understand the physical conditions of the gas and dust in high redshift galaxies. My research is performed using all sort of multi-wavelength evidences for detailed analyses of distant objects. In particular, my personal interest is focused in understanding the way in which galaxies evolved as a function of redshift using deep radio (JVLA), infrared (Herschel) and sub-millimetre (ALMA) surveys.

Teaching: Research Work II (class for MSc and PhD students in Astrophysics) -- 2nd semester 2014
