Resume

My main research interests are in extragalactic astrophysics with an emphasis on studies of galaxy formation and evolution using:

* Spectral synthesis techniques: Population and Evolutionary Synthesis
* Spatially resolved studies with integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of galaxies
* Emission-line galaxies and ionisation mechanisms of their nebular content: Star-Formation, Active Galactic Nuclei, Post-AGB stars, Shocks.

I also have expertise in computational astrophysics, machine learning, multi-objective optimisation techniques, data mining and development of software for extragalactic astronomy: FADO and STARLIGHT population synthesis codes, Porto3D IFS pipeline, as well as accompanying tools, such as RemoveYoung post-processing tool for IFS and REBETIKO evolutionary synthesis code.

I know the following programming languages/IDEs: Fortran 77/90/2008, Code::Blocks, Python, Spyder, C/C++, OpenMPI, ESO-MIDAS, IDL, Super Mongo & bash scripts.
