Summary

The Laboratory of Astrophysics (LASTRO) at EPFL is a leading research unit with a focus on advanced research and education in the field of astrophysics. With a presence at two locations, LASTRO plays a key role in international projects related to extragalactic astrophysics and observational cosmology. The research team is actively involved in projects such as the Square Kilometre Array Observatory and the development of supercomputing infrastructure for processing astronomical data efficiently. LASTRO's work revolves around observations of extragalactic objects, detailed modelling of the cosmos, and testing various theories of astrophysics, with expertise in Dark Energy & Dark Matter, Cosmological Parameters, and Galaxy Formation & Evolution.

Expertise I am a cosmologist specialising in the analysis of large structures in the Universe. My research aims to study the link between galaxies and dark matter in order to test the validity of the cosmological models. I use data from large galaxy surveys, notably those from the DESI. I develop innovative simulation based inference techniques to fully exploit the potential of observational data. Formation Towards a comprehensive interpretation of the galaxy-halo connection for emission-line galaxies i
