Biography

I started my PhD at ICRAR/UWA in 2022. My project is observationally focused on analysing the faint intra-halo light component that surrounds galaxy groups. The key of this stellar component is that we could use it as a tool to have a better understaning of how was the evolution of the group. We use observations from the Hyper Suprime-Cam, as it provides us with the depth and width needed to analyse low surface brightness sources.
