ABOUT ME
My research focuses on oscillating stars, which are similar to our Sun - in its past, present, or future. I am particularly interested in stars in advanced evolutionary stages, called red giants.
Teaching is an important part of being a full-stake academic. In my current position, I have the privilege to work with many young minds and future scientists
Sometimes, however, I enjoy simply looking at the beautiful night sky, as shown in the picture taken on La Palma and wonder, what we will still have to find out.
