About me

Hello internet traveler! I am a PhD candidate in exoplanets and direct imaging at Leiden Observatory. Under the guidance of my supervisor Matthew Kenworthy, I will use two direct imaging surve​​ys, the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES) and the Wide Separation Planets in Time (WiSPiT) survey, to search for and characterise young gas giants at relatively large projected separations from their parent star.
