About Me

Between 2016 and 2023, I studied astronomy at the University of Vienna, earning both a Bachelor's and Master's degree. During my studies, I received two performance scholarships awarded by the University of Vienna for the academic years 2019 and 2020. In 2019, I ranked 1st among all applicants.

Since June 2023, I have been a PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, working in the group of Dr. Mario Flock on the UFOS project (UFOS website).

MPIA, together with the excellence of the research conducted in our group under Mario Flock’s supervision, enables us to travel across the world to present and discuss our work at conferences, workshops, meetings, and seminars. Highlights of my academic journey include the Born in Fire conference in Santiago de Chile (2024), the Planets on the Edge conference in Santa Barbara (2025), and visits to MIT, Boston University, and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
