My research focuses on the formation of stars and planets, the study of planet-forming disks that surround all young stars. I also work on the nature and composition of exoplanets and their atmospheres. I work on the chemical and physical properties of solids in space. These solids play an important role in interstellar chemistry, in the formation of (rocky) planets, and in their atmospheres.
