My main research interest is observational cosmology. I use the absorption lines observed in the spectra of high redshift bright sources (QSOs, GRBs) to investigate the large scale distribution of matter, the formation and evolution of galaxies and the interactions between galaxies, AGNs and the intergalactic medium (winds, IGM metal enrichment, UV background). I am also interested in the development of Data Analysis Software for the next generation of very high resolution spectrographs.
