About Me

Currently I'm working as a PhD student in TRR 170 Project A subgroup 6 at the Institute for Planetology in Muenster, Germany.

My main research interests are:

  • Terrestrial Bodies
  • Habitability
  • Astrobiology and Human Exploration

I believe my scientific career started in 2005 when I attended the NASA Astronaut training camp in Huntsville (Alabama, USA). I was fascinated by the magnitude of scientific knowledge and sense of discovery and exploration, that I pursued my BSc in Planetary Science with Astronomy in London (UK) following an MSc in Geochemistry in the same institution. As a PhD student, the focus of my project will be to obtain absolute model ages of selected impact basins on Mercury, as well as carrying out comparative studies of light plains on Mercury and the Moon. TRR 170 gave me the opportunity to continue my planetary career, in an interdisciplinary group and in an exciting new city, Muenster.
