Welcome
Hi!
I'm Ivanna, an astronomer in the making at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Garching, Munich. Before joining ESO for my PhD, I studied mostly in France (where I come from) and also in Taiwan and Denmark. If I'm not behind my laptop learning about galaxies, you will likely find me riding my motorbike, dancing tango or exploring our planet.
You can find more information about my academic path in my CV.
What do I research?
I use observational data from VLT/MUSE and ALMA to study the evolution of galaxies. In particular, I study the gas around galaxies (the circumgalactic medium, on >10 kpc scales) and how it is linked to the properties of galaxies and the gas within them (the interstellar medium, on <10 kpc scales). While carrying out my research, I am supervised by Nicolas Bouché, Gergö Popping and Michele Ginolfi.
