My main interest is understanding how galaxies evolve, attacking the
problem mainly from an observational point of view and using Bayesian methods. I'm presently involved
in studying the structure of the universe up to redshift one
and above.
Give a look at the book Bayesian Methods in Cosmology, by Cambridge University Press (you may get it from them, or from Amazon,
or many other sellers as well), I'm one of the authors. I also
discovered the highest redshift cluster known today, JKCS041 at z=2.2,
shown above, as reported in my paper.
In the near past, I was an astronomer of INAF -Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte and for some academic years I was 'professore affidatario' of the Milan
University where I taught information
science. I was also a member of the XMM-LSS
project, where I lead the (cluster) identification working group.
I'm fashined by applications of neural networks to my field of study, and I cannot resist to have my own blog.
