Curriculum Vitae

About

I am a second-year PhD student in Astronomy at the University of Vienna, working on modelling upper planetary atmospheres with a focus on chemistry, photochemistry, and atmospheric escape mechanisms. My research involves improving an in-house first-principles 1D model (The Kompot Code), particularly its chemical network, and applying it to a range of exoplanets observable with JWST and ESA's Ariel mission. My main interests include atmospheric characterisation, mass loss and evolution, along with transmission and emission spectroscopy.
