I am a radioastronomer working with single dish telescopes and interferometers in the millimetre regime. My studies are centred around the exploration of the interstellar medium, focusing on its molecular component.

From a background oriented towards the formation of massive stars, my recent research is devoted to the exploration of filamentary structure in molecular clouds. Through the observation of molecular lines, I investigate the physical properties and kinematics of these sub-structures within clouds. Interstellar filaments, small-scale fibers, and their junctions, named hubs, permeate molecular clouds and their properties critically influence the formation of both solar-like and massive stars.

By requesting time to several observatories (e.g. ALMA, NOEMA, IRAM-30m, Yebes-40m), I aim to determine the physical properties of these filamentary networks, and the environmental conditions around them throughout different scales. The interplay between these different gas regimes is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of star formation.
