Astronomy research

My research interests are the detection and characterisation of giant planets and brown dwarfs. I used ground-based and space telescopes such as VLT and HST to direct image planetary-mass objects. I developed algorithms to reduce coronagraphic data, conducted atmospheric characterisation of young planetary-mass objects with variability monitoring, searched for wide-orbit planets using VLT/SPHERE, and studied the multiplicity of young brown dwarfs. My PhD work focused on understanding the formation of planetary-mass companions and the atmospheric structures of planetary-mass objects through direct imaging surveys.

Data-driven engineer

I am experienced in finding solutions for complex problems, as this is what astronomers do in their daily lives. In the past four years of my PhD, I have developed multiple data reduction pipelines to process image and time-series data.
