Summary of the scientific interest
My main research interest consists in investigating the formation and evolution of early galaxies. I study the chemical, mechanical, and radiative feedback regulating the interaction between the intergalactic and interstellar medium, focusing on how such complex interplay shapes the properties of the early galaxies.
