My field of research is star formation and protoplanetary disks, specially regarding low-mass and solar-type stars. I am also very interested in the relation between star formation in different types of clusters and protoplanetary disk formation and evolution. Most of my work is based on multi-wavelength observations, including optical, IR, and millimeter wavelengths. I also use time-resolved photometry and spectroscopy to track processes happening in disks and stars, including accretion variability and outbursts, disk evolution on planetary-orbit timescales, and eclipses by protoplanetary disk material.
