Specific fields of research:
Resolved studies of galaxy physical properties, stellar populations in particular
Early-type galaxies (incl. dwarfs): structure, dynamics, stellar populations and dust
The cosmic evolution of galaxy properties as traced by deep spectroscopic surveys
The stellar mass in galaxies: how to measure it, how to determine its role in the physical and dynamical evolution of galaxies, how to study its evolution over cosmic times and scales (FP7-SteMaGE Career Integration Grant)
The influence of the environment on the statistical distribution of galaxies’ physical properties
Stellar halos and intracluster light as probes of the hierarchical assembly of galaxies and clusters
The relations between galaxies and their gaseous halos as studied with (MgII) QSO absorbers
