About Me
I am a Postdoc at UCO Lick Observatory working with the DEEP2 project (

I did my PhD at the Institute of Astronomy, ETH Zurich, working with
Frank van den Bosch
on disk galaxy formation.
My Research
My main interest is the structure and formation of disk galaxies and their dark matter halos.
My current projects include:
- Semi-analytic disk galaxy formation models;
- Scaling relations of dark matter halos;
- Evolution of galaxy scaling relations;
- 2-D kinematics of high z disk galaxies;
- Scaling relations of low redshift disk galaxies;
- Distribution of baryons and dark matter in nearby disk galaxies.
