My main research interests include Cosmic Microwave Background science (CMB spectral distortions; cosmological recombination and the ionzation history; cosmological parameter estimation; Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect), atomic physics (two-photon transitions and Raman scattering; helium spectrum; collisional processes), radiative transfer (Lyman-α escape during cosmological recombination; line feedback; line diffusion and partial frequency redistribution; electron scattering), and high energy processes in the early Universe (energy transfer to the IGM by annihilating dark matter and decaying relict particles; thermalization of CMB spectral distortion in the early Universe; double Compton scattering).
In preparation for the detailed analysis of CMB data from the Planck
Satellite I developed CosmoRec,
a cosmological recombination code that supersedes the physical model of Recfast. These calculations
were important for the recent analysis of Planck data, in particular for the constraints on the spectral index.
