Understanding th e variety in properties of galaxies today is thus key to unveiling how gal axies form and transform across cosmic time. We have been plunging into de ep imaging of nearby galaxies to get a careful mapping of where stellar ma ss is concentrated in galaxies. Galaxies present a myriad of distinct stel lar structures. We focus on structures that typically characterise local g alaxies — such as bulges\, disks\, bars\, and spiral arms — with the i ntention of building a present-day benchmark to understand the different a gents that dictate when and where stars form and through which processes ( giant galaxy collisions\, interactions with smaller galaxies\, etc.). We h ave also recently launched a long-term observing program to produce the de epest mapping of galaxies accessible from the Southern Hemisphere\, comple menting the exquisite work that has been performed in the north.  I will show a number of discoveries we have made and give you a preview of the ex citing work we are doing with our nascent southern survey. Last but not le ast\, I will briefly discuss my involvement in DEI efforts\, in particular regarding parenting in academia\, and my intentions at the Flatiron Inst itute as an IDEA scholar.\n\n \n\nLocation:\n\nIngrid Daubechies Auditori um (IDA)\, Flatiron Institute\, 2nd floor\, or via Zoom.
