Welcome to my website!

I am currently a third year Graduate Student here the the IFA working primarily in Solar Physics and Astronomy. My research is focused on studying the Solar Corona (the outermost part of the Solar Atmosphere) and using modern simulation tools to study explosive events, such as Coronal Mass Ejections and associated EIT waves.
