I am an astrochemist interested in the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium. I’m currently a PhD candidate at Leiden University working alongside Prof. Ewine van Dishoeck. In the fall of 2025, I’ll be joining the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University as a 51 Pegasi b fellow!

My research combines laboratory experiments and astronomical observations to constrain the mechanisms behind the formation and destruction of interstellar molecules. I am also interested in exploring the potential inheritance of molecules from early evolutionary stages of star formation to forming planetesimals.

I am an expert on ultra-high vacuum setups used to simulate interstellar solid-state chemistry. I also utilize observations from (sub)millimetre and infrared telescopes to characterize the chemical inventory in star- and planet-forming regions.
