Research interests 

  • Kinematics & dynamics of star-forming galaxies at z~1-3
  • Molecular vs ionized gas kinematics of galaxies at high-z
  • Evolution of galaxies & scaling relations
  • IFU spectroscopy observations in optical/IR with OASIS, SPIOMM, MUSE, KMOS, SINFONI
  • Observations in the millimeter/submillimeter with ALMA
  • Gravitationally lensed galaxies
  • Local galaxies analogs to high-z galaxies - the DYNAMO sample
