I am an astrophysicist who is mostly concerned with understanding the basic physical processes involved in the formation of stars. The areas of research I cover lean strongly towards observational studies, and the development of new generations of instrumentation that allow for the discovery of important results that bring us closer to a more complete picture of the star formation process. My work, however, either past or current, is not limited to simple presentations of observational data, but often leads to important new physical interpretations and models that significantly contribute to our understanding of star formation.
