Main Research Fields

My research focuses in the characterization of the atmospheres of low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and free-floating planetary-mass objects. In particular, I am interested on the spectra-photometric variability of these objects, that provide us with information about their vertical cloud coverage in their atmospheres. In addition, a second part of my research involves producing spectral libraries of brown dwarfs of different ages, and surface gravities to serve as templates for characterizing other objects, like directly-imaged exoplanets.
