Research overview

My research concentrates on the structure and evolution of galaxies, and I use integral-field spectroscopy to study these systems. My main research topic is the study of dark and stellar haloes in early-type galaxies, where I use integral-field spectrographs as 'photon-buckets' to collect enough lights in the faint outskirts of galaxies to measure stellar absorption kinematics and line indices.

Other topics that I work on include shapes and morphologies of nearby galaxies. I am also active as the data release coordinator of SDSS-IV, the Lead Observer of the MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO) survey, and the project manager of Shine.
