Research overview

My research focuses on exploring large spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys, which collect spectra for millions of galaxies in the near and distant Universe. I use these to learn not only how galaxies themselves have evolved, but also to understand the content, geometry and expansion history of the Universe. Currently I'm particularly interested in understanding how knowing more about the evolution of galaxies can help us derive more robust information about the evolution of the Universe as a whole.

I'm a member of SDSS-III, SDSS-IV, VIPERS, GAMA and DESI.
