Skills and Tools

For my data analysis, I mainly use Python, but also IDL and specialised astronomy software such as Aladin, Topcat, Miriad, CASA and IRAF. I am also an experience observer using both optical and radio telescopes around the world.

Teaching and Educating

Besides teaching the use of Virtual Observatory tools and services, I also supervise Master and Bachelor projects. I have also worked with interns. While one intern studied web design and redesigned the EURO-VO webpage (soon to go live), most of the interns were still at school and interested in becoming an astronomer.

Service work and engagement

I am an active member of the astronomical community. As such I have been involved in the organisation of multiple conferences, workshops and talk series, and served on various committees and as a journal referee.

Previous Positions and Research Expertise

Asterics & CDS Post-doc (2018 - ongoing)

CDS, Observatoire astronomique de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France

This position is split 50:50 between research, and scientific support to the Asterics project/ the dissemination of the CDS and Virtual Observatory services:

Research: I am investigating the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. What is the driving factor of the amount of dust and gas in a galaxy? What role do the kinematics play? For more information see here
Scientific Support: I provide tutorials on how to best access data from the CDS services in particular and Virtual Observatory services in general. I also join discussions on how to get radio data into the Virtual Observatory. To that end I have chaired a BoF session at the last ADASS and support CDS engineers in prototyping these archives. Previously, I provided scientific support to the Data Access, Discovery and Interoperability (DADI) work package of the Asterics project.
