About me
I am a Professor at the Faculty of Astronomy and Geophysics of the University of La Plata (FCAG-UNLP), and an independent researcher at CONICET. Currently, I teach "Precision Cosmology" and "Stellar Systems". I am a member of the IAU, at the Division J Galaxies and Cosmology.
I studied astronomy at FCAG. My degree thesis was supervised by Diego Harari (UBA). I obtained my PhD in Astronomy in 2009 at the same University, working with Héctor Vucetich (FCAG) and Susana Landau (UBA).
Between 2009 and 2011, I was a Marie Curie fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, working with Rashid Sunyaev.
Between 2011 and 2012, I was a postdoc at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, and from 2012 to 2014, I was a postdoc at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) UAM-CSIC .
My research interest is Cosmology, in particular, the cosmic microwave background, and the Large Scale structure of the Universe. I am a member of the QUBIC Collaboration. The Q & U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology, QUBIC, is an innovative experiment designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and in particular the signature left therein by the inflationary expansion of the Universe. Within the collaboration, I have the status of architect, and I am the co-leader of the data analysis and simulations working group, and member of the Editorial Board.
I am also interested in the large scale structure of the Universe (LSS). Currently, I am investigating dark matter deficient galaxies in the Universe.
Among other projects, I have been involved in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which was a part of SDSS III designed to tackle the problem of Dark Energy by providing accurate measurements of the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO).
