About us
We study the formation and evolution of cosmic structures across a wide range of scales through both observations and theoretical modeling, taking into account the complexities of various astrophysical processes. Our comprehensive approach enables us to develop a more accurate and realistic understanding of how stars, galaxies, and large-scale structures form and evolve than is provided by current models alone. To achieve this, we combine observations from ground- and space-based telescopes spanning the electromagnetic spectrum with state-of-the-art numerical simulations.
International Collaborations
Science with SKAO
The Square Kilometer Array will soon be the largest radio observatory of the world. As members of SKA Science Working Groups, we study the role of the thermal and nonthermal processes in structure formation and evolution of galaxies.
LOFAR MKSP/SKSP
As members of LOFAR Magnetism and Surveys Key Science Projects, we study low-frequency properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies and investigate the interplay between ISM and star formation.
IRAM-IMEGIN
The IMEGIN project is one of 5 Guaranteed Time Large programs proposed by the NIKA2 collaboration with the 30m IRAM telescope. This project allows us to study dust in galaxies which is important for the formation of molecular gas and stars.
The MIGHTEE Survey
MIGHTEE is an extragalactic radio survey with the South African MeerKAT radio telescope at GHz frequencies. MIGHTEE observations enables us to study star-formation and AGN activity over cosmic time, as a function of stellar mass and environment, free of dust obscuration.
