I am a Norwegian / British astronomer who working on the scientific preparation of the PLATO exoplanet mission. The PLATO space mission is designed to search for small, rocky exoplanets in the habitable zones of stars like the Sun.
I also work on a variety of astrophysical topics mainly focused on far-UV observations aimed at understanding the the formation environments of young planets. I am also very interested in work related to exoplanet atmospheres, radial velocity followup and the chemistry of exocomets.
I previously worked as a postdoc researcher at Leiden observatory in collaboration with Prof. Ignas Snellen . Prior to that I was working at the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris where I mainly worked together with Dr. Alain Lecavelier des Etangs, Dr. Alfred Vidal-Majar and Dr. Guillaume Hébrard.
