Scientific Activity
My research focuses on deriving constraints on fundamental cosmological parameters, such as the matter density and dark energy equation of state, through the statistical analysis of observed and simulated galaxy clusters. A key component of this work involves measuring cluster mass profiles via weak lensing, in order to study their internal structure and connection to the underlying dark matter haloes.
I am a member of the Euclid Consortium, which is in charge of the scientific exploitation of the ESA Euclid mission. My roles encompass scientific coordination and core code development for galaxy cluster studies.
I am also part of the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) community, contributing to cosmological analyses within the survey. Furthermore, I am a member of the KiDS-Legacy infrastructure, a group of community members who have made significant contributions to the development of methodologies and software for the final KiDS analyses.
