Molecular clouds lifecycle in 54 main-sequence galaxies

I have quantified links between the small-scale GMC evolution and the galactic-scale environmental properties using 54 main-sequence PHANGS galaxies.

Duration of the embedded phase of star formation in nearby galaxies

Half of the star formation duration, detected in Spitzer 24mic, is missed when using Halpha only.

Origin of the observed Na-O anti-correlations in globular clusters

I developed chemical evolution models for globular clusters that reproduced Na-O anti-correlation, along with other observed properties (e.g. CMD, population ratio), as well as observed Na abundance spreads in the MW bulge.
