My research centers on star clusters and their crucial role in astrophysics — from planet formation to galaxy evolution. As the birthplaces of most stars, young star clusters provide the environments where planetary systems emerge, while also shaping their surroundings through the winds, radiation, and supernovae of their most massive members, which inject energy and metals into the interstellar medium. By studying how clusters form and evolve, I aim to understand the processes that regulate star formation on galactic scales.
