Sebastian Lopez's work focuses on the interstellar medium and gas dynamics within and around galaxies, using observational data from radio, infrared, and space-based telescopes. Recent projects include mapping molecular gas in the Milky Way, studying star-forming regions in nearby starburst galaxies, and analyzing gas absorption in distant galaxies using gravitational lensing techniques. Earlier work also touched on meteor (fireball) spectroscopy, suggesting some breadth into solar system observational astronomy.
