Bio

I obtained my PhD at the the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, working with Carsten Dominik and Michiel Min on radiative transfer modeling of protoplanetary disks. From 2013 to 2018 I was a postdoc at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona, where I worked with Ilaria Pascucci and Daniel Apai and as part of the EOS/NExSS team.

Research Interests

I study the origins of planets, by comparing exoplanet survey data with the properties of protoplanetary disks, and by connecting them through planet formation models. In particular, I am interested in the formation of planets around low mass M dwarfs stars.
