Interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher working in the group led by Dr. Thomas Haworth. My research focuses on characterising the chemical composition of protoplanetary disks, seeking to understand how these environments shape the planets that form within them. I use a comprehensive approach that combines advanced thermochemical models with analysis of observational data from state-of-the-art facilities like ALMA and APEX.
