Science Operations Development Manager for SMILE and Ariel missions / Previously: JWST Instrument Scientist

 

Main Research Fields

My research focuses on the formation of stars in our Galaxy. I combine several observational techniques across the spectrum to characterize both the stellar population and large-scale filamentary structure of nearby star forming regions. My findings aim at constraining star formation theories and understanding the evolution of young stars.
