“ There are countless suns and countless earths all rotating round their suns. (...)
For it is utterly unreasonable to suppose that those teeming
worlds (...)
should be uninhabited and should not bear similar or even more perfect
inhabitants than our earth.”
Giordano Bruno (1584)
I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the field of stellar astrophysics and exoplanets, currently working at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias in Tenerife, Spain. My interests lie in stellar parameter determination of low-mass planet hosts using different techniques, exoplanet detection with photometry and spectroscopy, and exoplanet characterization. I'm also interested in astro-photography; all pictures on this website have been taken by myself.

I completed my bachelor and master degrees in Astronomy at the University of Vienna (Austria), and then finished my PhD in Astrophysics at the University of Göttingen (Germany) in 2017. Afterwards, I held several postdoc positions at the Observatory Hamburg (Germany), University of Oklahoma (USA), and now the University of La Laguna (Spain).
I'm interested in astrophotography, where I'm trying to
capture all the beauty of the night sky.
