Research Interests

• Circumstellar disks: gas/dust properties, evolution/dissipation mechanisms (e.g. photoevaporation), observations and models
• Planet formation: mechanisms, environments, time-scales
• Star Formation: clusters, disk frequency, physics of YSOs, variability, stellar outflows/jets
• Extra-solar planetary systems: observations (AO imaging and coronography), transitional disks
• Life in the Universe - Astrobiology
• Optical and IR high resolution techniques (Adaptive Optics, AO) - imaging and spectroscopy
