Research interests:

I am a computational astrophysicist whose research interests include both exoplanetary and stellar atmospheric modelling. On the exoplanet side, my research concentrates on modelling the transmission spectra and characterization of planetary atmospheres. On the stellar side, my research focuses on the characterization of Galactic and extra-galactic globular clusters via integrated light using stellar atmospheric models.
