I am a 3rd year PhD student at the University of Vienna in the group 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.
