I am a PhD candidate at the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON) and the University of Amsterdam’s Anton Pannekoek Institute. I study statistics in astronomy with an emphasis on black holes. I particularly focus on application of machine learning.

I completed my Integrated Master’s in Astrophysics with a Year of Research Abroad at Southampton in 2022. My year abroad was undertaken at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. My supervisors for that year were James F. Steiner and Cecilia Garraffo. My thesis was “Mapping the X-ray Variability Curves of GRS 1915+105 with machine learning”.

I enjoy cycling and hiking in my free time. I am also slowly learning Dutch in my free time to better integrate in the Netherlands!
