My main research interests are (click for more details):

• (Low-mass) Galaxy formation and evolution
  
• Emission line galaxies
  
• Extreme stellar populations
  
• Near-IR spectroscopy
• Multi-wavelength galaxy surveys
  
• Gravitational lensing
• High-z galaxy searches

Using MUSE, I study the restframe-ultraviolet spectra of high-redshift galaxies. Features in this part of the spectrum, such as the C III] and Lyman-alpha emission lines, provide a lot of information about the physical state of these young galaxies. This type of study is extremly powerful when combined with information from the restframe-optical region, which can be obtained with Hubble's WFC3 camera. A key strength to this approach is the un-targeted nature of both instruments, allowing us to get a clear view of the full population of galaxies.
