I am a professional astronomer with a main research interest in star and planet formation, the star-disk interaction, the accretion process and variability of young stellar objects. I completed my PhD in 2022 at Konkoly Observatory / Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary), where I was part of the SACCRED ERC group lead by my PhD supervisor, Ágnes Kóspál; and I also became a member of the PENELLOPE/ODYSSEUS collaboration. Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Astrophysics Research at University of Hertforshire (UK) on the variability of young stellar objects and young eruptive stars in the VVV/X survey with Phil Lucas.
Observational astronomy has always been in the center of my research interest. I use multifilter photometry, high-cadence space photometry, and high-resolution spectroscopy to study the star-disk interaction, the accretion process, and the variability of forming stars, and their protoplanetary disks. The different wavelength ranges reveal information on the different parts of the star-disk system, which helps us understand the physical processes behind the observed variations. The interaction between the star and the disk also plays an important role in establishing the physical and chemical properties of the circumstellar disk where planets might form.
