About Me.

I am a Integrated Masters student currently working on Exoplanets and their atmospheres for my Masters Thesis.

The incredible progress in exoplanet science continually amazes me, and I'm thrilled by the fresh insights we gain into these alien worlds every day. My ultimate aim is to contribute to the comprehension of Earth-like exoplanets and the concept of habitability as we embark on the quest to detect signs of life outside our solar system.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm an avid reader who enjoys immersing myself in a good book. Staying active is also important to me, and you'll often find me working on my fitness in the gym. And, of course, I value the time I spend outdoors, connecting with the beauty of nature.
