    Unraveling the Galactic Thick Disk with QUEST-I RR Lyrae stars
    I will present results from the QUEST RR Lyrae Survey of the Galactic Thick Disk. The survey spans ~480 sq. deg. at low latitude |b|<30 deg with multi-epoch VRI...

    Unveiling the inner Milky Way globular cluster system
    A serious limitation in the study of the Galactic inner halo and bulge globular clusters has been the existence of large and differential extinction by...

    Using kinetic theory to model galaxies: an overview of the Vlasov-Poisson system
    The Vlasov-Poisson system is the mean field limit of the classical N-body problem as N goes to infinity. First considered in plasma physics, it has been also...

    Using nitrogen as a tracer of the chemical content of the Universe: from WR nebulae to early star-forming galaxies
    Chemical abundances derived using emission-line spectra in ionized gaseous nebulae are between the most useful properties that can be derived to understand the...

    Variability surveys from today to future extremely large telescopes
    I will make an overview of the classical pulsating variable stars (i.e. SX Phoenicis, RR Lyrae, Anomalous Cepheids, Classical Cepheids) in our Local Group and...
