Description
In this chat I am going to talk about galaxy evolution in dense environments and the different techniques and equipment we use to shed light on this topic.
As an example, I will mention how we use Virtual Reality (a tool developed for gaming) to visualize and analyze astronomical 3D data. In the second part of the talk I will focus on my personal “evolutionary path” as an astronomer. I will tell why I decided to move to Naples and work at the Observatory of Capodimonte.
Moving from theoretical physics to astronomy and astrophysics, jumping from one country to another: the life of researchers is more complex but as exciting as galaxy evolution.
