I am an astrophysicist and will be joining the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian in November 2025 as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Dr. Catherine Zucker. I recently completed my PhD at the University of Vienna under the supervision of Prof. João Alves.
My research involves studying the process of star formation by visualizing the 3D dynamics of young stellar clusters that are situated in the local Milky Way. My work relies heavily on the unprecedented astrometric precision of the European Space Agency's Gaia Mission.
