I am a stellar spectroscopist and Galactic archaeologist trying to decipher the origin and evolution of chemical elements in the Milky Way Galaxy. My research has led to significant discoveries, including the identification of pristine stars and addressing the cosmological lithium problem. I have also emphasized the relevance of the environment in unification schemes for Active Galactic Nuclei. My current significant project involves ESA's Galactic Surveyor Gaia, which is operational from 2013 to 2025 and measures the 3D positions and space motions of over 1.5 billion stars in our Galaxy. I am passionate about public outreach and have participated in various initiatives, including talks and interviews on astronomical topics. My work has been recognized in renowned platforms, and I contribute to multiple large-scale surveys aimed at understanding stellar evolution.
