ESA Astronomer based at the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Maryland. Developed new techniques to directly image and spectrally characterize, and dynamically weigh exoplanets and brown dwarfs using both ground- and space-based observatories through several exoplanet detection and measurement techniques. -Principal Investigator of a JWST Cycle.

Baltimore, Maryland, United States

Awarded a competitive fellowship with the European Space Agency at the Space Telescope Science Institute throughout the launch period and commissioning of the most powerful space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope. This included being the principal investigator of a commissioning plan for JWST/NIRSpec, alongside carrying out research in the area of.

Incorporating radial velocity, direct imaging, and absolute astrometric data from ESA's Hipparcos and Gaia to comprehensively characterize benchmark brown dwarfs that act as analogs to directly image and characterize exoplanets.-Principal Investigator of VLTI/GRAVITY program: "Towards complete characterization of the benchmark brown dwarf.

Pasadena, California, United States

Selected for a competitive program for NASA/JPL's inaugural astrophysics mission design school, which seeks to teach the process of developing a hypothesis-driven robotic space mission in a concurrent engineering environment while getting an in-depth, first-hand look at mission design, life cycle, costs, schedule and the trade-offs inherent in each.I was.

Geneva, Switzerland

Worked with Dr. Damien Ségransan on a large survey to direct image exoplanets around young stars in the mid-infrared. High contrast imaging survey of nearby stars with debris disks to detect and characterize giant planets in wide orbits, including 120 nights on VLT/NACO. Also a member of the SPHERE-SHINE consortium with 200 nights on VLT/SPHERE.Principal.

Sheffield, United Kingdom

I was awarded funding by the competitive Sheffield Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) for a summer research position between the third and fourth year of my Master's degree.The project involved investigating the feeding of cavity-polariton states with multiple lasers to determine theoretically if photons injected by a second laser can generate.
