PhD Candidate (MPIA) studying direct imaging of exoplanets.
I am a 2nd year PhD candidate studying the discovery and characterisation of planets via direct imaging at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany. I am interested in searching for young planets via protoplanetary disk substructure, dynamical mass estimation of planets, and characterisation of planet formation with hot- and cold-start models.
I work as part of the Atmospheric Physics of Exoplanets (APEx) group at MPIA, under the supervision of Wolfgang Brandner.
