Research interests

I am interested on how stellar clusters form and evolve in a hierarchical galaxy assembly context, with my ultimate goal being to be able to use old, massive stellar cluster populations as near-field cosmological tracers. In particular, I’m interested in:

• The formation of clustered stellar systems over cosmic time, and their interplay with galaxy formation.
• Constraining the physics involved in globular cluster formation.
• Development of sub-grid models of star formation and feedback in numerical simulations of galaxy formation.

Here is a recent online colloquium I gave at the Waterloo Center for Astrophysics (Canada).

Outreach

I am a firm advocate that academia, and the STEM fields, benefit immensely when incorporating a plurality of voices and lifestyles. Over the past years I have participated in a variety of outreach activities. The Spanish Astronomical Society organises a “Chat with a Female Astronomer” program, in which the general public has access to online chats with individual female astronomers from Spain. Thanks to this program, I have engaged with more than a hundred participants since its first annual event in 2019. Back in 2017, I gave a TEDxUniHeidelberg talk on the multi-scale complexity of astrophysical phenomena.
