Globular cluster systems of 707 nearby galaxies

In my master's project working with Dr. Andrew Cooper, we used DESI Legacy Survey imaging data , to estimate the globular cluster (GC) density profiles and GC number counts of 707 galaxies within 30 Mpc. Check out my first first-author paper, accepted to be published in ApJ, here !

Searching for low surface brightness galaxies (LSBs)

Starting from Oct 2024, I am a EDUCADO PhD candidate at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands , working with Johan Knapen, Ignacio Trujillo , Michael Wilkinson (University of Groningen), Reynier Peletier (University of Groningen), and Zeljko Ivezic (University of Washington). My research will focus on searching for low surface brightness galaxies around Milky Way-like hosts, using deep imaging surveys.
