    Galaxies in the low-surface-brightness Universe - the new frontier in galaxy evolution studies
    A new era of observational surveys that are both deep and wide is poised to revolutionise our understanding of galaxy evolution, by enabling, for the first time...

    Simulations of Galaxy Formation: Feedback and the early formation of compact spheroids by disc instabilities.
    Any successful model of galaxy formation needs to explain the low rate of star formation in the small progenitors of today’s galaxies. This inefficiency is...

    Starburst and AGN: incidental or causal symbiosis?
    Nuclear activity and intense star formation are two phenomena known to co-exist in a variety of galaxies, spanning several orders of magnitude in luminosity. I...

    The most luminous starbursts in the early Universe: a different perspective on massive galaxy formation
    In this talk, I will present recent results on a new sample of extremely UV-luminous star-forming galaxies at z=2-4 discovered within the 9000deg^2-wide Baryon...

    Too young to be true: black hole feedback and the evolution of galaxies
    Black hole feedback is central to our theoretical understanding of galaxies. The energy and momentum radiated by growing supermassive black holes is expected to...

    (1) Stellar disks in the intermediate redshift range: listening to the galaxy evolution "Symphony". (2) Unveiling the narrow-line Seyfert 1 nature of Mrk 573 using near-infrared spectroscopy
    1) In this brief seminar (<~25 minutes+questions) I will present recent results on the study of "deep", high resolution, surface brightness profiles of a sample...

    (1) Stellar kinematics in double-barred galaxies: the sigma-hollows (2) A colorful view on the outskirt of spiral galaxies: clues on disk-formation scenarios
    (1) We present SAURON integral-field stellar velocity and velocity dispersion maps for four double-barred early-type galaxies: NGC2859, NGC3941,NGC4725 and...

    A deeper look on thick discs using data from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
    Thick discs are disc-like components with a scale height larger than that of the classical discs. They are most easily detected in close to edge-on galaxies in...

    A fierce new challenge: unveil the connection between the first galaxies and reionization
    The formation of the first galaxies in the Universe is the new frontier of both galaxy formation and reionization studies. In fact, we will soon directly...
