    A new, multi-cloud method to accurately model emission lines in star-forming galaxies
    The abundance of chemical elements across cosmic time provide unique information on the physical processes driving the evolution of galaxies. Current methods...

    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...

    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 Duality in the Origin of Bulges and Spheroidal Galaxies
    Studying the resolved stellar populations of the different structural components that build massive galaxies directly unveils their assembly history. We aim at...

    A large spectroscopic survey facility at GTC for the next decade
    In the next decade astronomers will attempt to constrain the nature of dark matter, dark energy and the (perhaps inflationary) processes which generated...

    A large, multi-epoch H-alpha survey at z=2.23, 1.47, 0.84 & 0.40: the 11Gyr evolution of star-forming galaxies from HiZELS
    I will present new deep and wide narrow-band surveys undertaken with UKIRT, Subaru and the VLT; a unique combined effort to select large, robust samples of H...
