Astrophysics, exoplanets, data analysis, statistics, instrumentation

I’m an expert in exoplanet detection and characterisation via the photometric and spectroscopic methods, combining data from space missions with those from ground-based instruments. I started my career on the exoplanet programme of the pioneering CoRoT space missing, then (modestly) contributed to the Kepler and K2 exoplanet revolution. Now, I am deeply involved in the preparation of the upcoming European space mission PLATO.
