Research Interests

My field of research deals with stellar and planetary astrophysics. In particular, I determine masses, radii, and ages of stars with a self-developed routine through evolutionary models (isochrones and tracks). I also analyse stellar light-curves and radial velocity time-series aiming at retrieving the main properties of exoplanets, such as mass, radius, and orbital parameters. Furthermore I unveil the evolution of exoplanet atmospheres through a tool fully developed here in Graz. I am currently involved in the CHEOPS and ARIEL missions.
