My research interests include ISM diagnostics for star-formation processes, and structural properties of AGN host galaxies and normal spiral bulges and disks. At the moment, the main topic is the molecular content and dust properties of low-metallicity starbursts and GRB host galaxies with observations from Spitzer , IRAM , Herschel , and ALMA , . ... I'm a CoI in the Herschel Open Time Key Project for nearby star-forming galaxies, KINGFISH , headed by Rob Kennicutt and Daniela Calzetti. ...
