Main Research Fields

My main research interest is on deep cosmological surveys to address the following astrophysical issues:

• Properties of the most distant galaxy clusters and proto-clusters
• What is the evolutionary sequence which lead star formation to migrate from high-z overdensities to low density regions in the local universe ?
• Resolve the Cosmic Infrared Background and determine the nature of its constituents.
• Determine the cosmic evolution of dusty star formation and of the infrared luminosity function.
• Elucidate the relation of far-infrared emission and environment, and determine clustering properties.
• Determine the contribution of AGN. Determine the infrared emission and energetics of known galaxy populations

• The search of Solar System Objects in deep optical surveys
