I’m an astrophysicist and instrumentation scientist working on the Comet Interceptor MIRMIS project at the University of Oxford. My work focuses on the development, verification, and calibration of optical and spectroscopic instruments for space missions and ground-based telescopes. Before joining Oxford, I completed my PhD at UCL (2020–2024), where I built and tested the Wide Field Corrector for the 4MOST survey. I then went on to lead the system verification for the 4MOST project (www.4most.eu) at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (2024–2025), working both in Europe and at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile.
