ABOUT

Hi there! I'm an astronomer (a postdoctoral FCT Fellow if you prefer) working in the IA and the Faculty of Sciences from the University of Lisbon in Galaxy Formation and Evolution, i.e. Observational Cosmology. I love studying extreme objects such as the most massive galaxies of the Universe, and anything related to challenge the current frontiers of our Physics theories.

¡Hola a todos! Soy un astrónomo (un postdoc FCT para los puristas) trabajando en el IA y en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Lisboa en Formación y Evolución de Galaxias o, en otras palabras, Cosmología Observacional. Me encanta estudiar objetos extremos como las galaxias más masivas del Universe, y todo lo relacionado con desafiar nuestros conocimientos físicos.
