About
I study the interstellar medium (ISM) in the Milky Way, particularly focusing on the distribution of dust and gas, turbulence, extinction, and the structure of molecular clouds. I utilize and analyze Gaia-based 3D dust-extinction maps to derive density probability distributions (PDFs) and compare 3D and 2D statistics to study nearby molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood. Our goal is to employ these spatial 3D dust maps to unravel the physics behind molecular clouds and understand how stars form within them. Beyond research, I am deeply passionate about outreach and public science. I find meaning in curiosity, though science, and creativity, though arts such as photography, videography, music, and graphic design. I often intertwine these hobbies with my fascination for astronomy, exploring both its visual and emotional aspects. Additionally, I am drawn to philosophy, evolution, and history, finding profound connections in the subtle patterns that unite everything.
