My main interest is understanding how galaxies evolve 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. I also
discovered the highest redshift cluster known today, JKCS041 at z=2.2.
I'm presently involved with the Euclid mission.
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.
