Welcome to my website!

I recently completed my graduate studies in Solar Physics and Astronomy here at the IFA. My research is focused on studying the Solar Corona (the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere) and using modern simulation tools to study explosive events, such as Coronal Mass Ejections and associated EUV waves.
