I am an astronomer of INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera and I also teach Bayesian Methods to PhD students at the Universita' degli Studi di Padova.

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=1.9, 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.

My favorite hobby is to play music.
