Christian Eistrup
I am a Ph.D. student in astronomy at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands.
My work is focused on understanding how planets form, and how the chemical evolution in protoplanetary disks affects the chemistry of the resulting planets.
I am supervised by Dr. Catherine Walsh, and Prof.dr. Ewine F. van Dishoeck.
