Hi! I am an astrophysicist hunting for habitable(?) exoplanets. What's my story? I work at the European Space Agency (ESA) as the CHEOPS Project Scientist & Mission Representative. My main focus is maximising the science output of the CHEOPS mission. I am fascinated by our quest to find Earth-sized exoplanets around small stars, and the big question of how stellar flares impact their habitability. To this end, I work with leading international missions, such ASTEP, SPECULOOS, NGTS, and TESS.
