Scientific Interests

• Low-mass and high-mass star formation;
• Molecular spectroscopy at centimetre, millimetre, and sub-millimetre wavelengths;
• LTE and non-LTE radiative transfer analysis (usign e.g. RADEX, POLARIS, MOLLIE);

• Molecular fractionation and chemical modelling;
• Polarimetry (at NIR/FIR/sub-mm wavelengths) and magnetic field properties;
• single-dish and interferometric observations.
