ABOUT ME
I am a theoretical researcher working on stellar physics and planetary sciences.
I have been working on star formation, disk evolution with photoevaporation, planet engulfment by red giant stars, etc.
Currently, my main research subject is the JOVIAL project: We aim to constrain the internal structure of Jupiter from oscillation measurements [Details].
