About

I’m an astrophysicist studying star and planet formation. I use some of the most advanced telescopes in the world, along with state-of-the-art computer models, to study physics and chemistry in birthplaces of planets — protoplanetary discs.

I am the principle investigator of several programs studying discs around the most massive young stars using the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA). I also work on the Cycle 6 Large Program ‘Molecules with ALMA at Planet-Forming Scales’ (MAPS), a survey of the chemical composition of five protoplanetary discs at unprecedented spatial resolution (~15 au).
