Research interests

The main focus of my research is how feedback from massive stars regulates the appearance of the interstellar medium (ISM), ongoing star formation and the chemical evolution of nearby galaxies (with a particular interest in the Local Volume dwarf galaxies). Besides, I am interested in how external gas inflows (gas accretion, tidal interactions, mergers) regulate the star formation activity and evolution of galaxies.
I use the multiwavelength observations (in particular, optical integral-field spectroscopy) from different telescopes and instruments to analyse the morphology, kinematics, physical conditions and chemical abundances of gas and dust at the scales from individual HII regions to giant kpc-sized star-forming complexes, superbubbles and outflows.

I am a member of the PHANGS collaboration (co-chair of the Ionized ISM working group) and the Local Volume Mapper (SDSS-V/LVM) science team.
