UniMass Project
Galaxy Evolution through Cosmic Time
In 2006 I was awarded a Marie Curie Excellence Team Grant, a prestigious and sizable grant – of 1.4 Million Euro in this case – that is awarded by the European Community to researchers that are showing the potential to reach excellence in their field. The topic of my research is galaxy evolution, in particular the understanding of the formation and evolution processes that galaxies undergone across the cosmic time by means of the study of their stellar populations. This project is focused on sophisticated stellar population models and on their impact on galaxy formation models and on the decoding of galaxy data. Below you can read a short description from the project abstract.The picture portraits my Team, that is composed by two PhD students – Janine Pforr (first from left) and Gustav Stromback (second from right) – and two post-doctoral researchers – Chiara Tonini (first from right) and Bruno Henriquez (second from left). Jonas Johansson (third from left is a ICG PhD student that I co-supervise and an external collaborator.
