I am a PhD student and University Assistant at the University of Vienna. My research focusses on the observation and characterisation of exoplanetary atmospheres. I perform end-to-end data reduction on observations taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), atmospheric retrievals based on Bayesian inference.

I currently work on the atmospheres of hot Jupiters and sub-Neptunes, but my research interests also include the co-evolution of star-planet systems, interactions between host stars and their planets, and planetary habitability.
