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.

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.
