We can offer a variety of projects to investigate the effects of radiation and mechanical feedback in star (cluster) formation, as well as the properties of gas fragmentation and of the emerging stellar populations. Projects related to the validity of star formation "laws" are also available. The projects could make use of state-of-the-art surveys of star formation throughout our Galaxy, including ALMA-IMF (ALMA), MGPS90 (GBT), and CORE (PdBI). Plenty of archival data and observations from dedicated telescope proposals are also available (these will hopefully include JWST). Projects could be entirely observational, or focus on the radiative-transfer modelling of (proto)stellar populations and gas flows at infrarred, (sub)mm, and radio wavelengths. The project could be adapted to fit within a masters degree or a PhD.
