Astrochemist interested in molecules and dust around dying stars.
Oort Fellow at Leiden Observatory, the Netherlands.
I'm delighted and honoured to share that I received an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant!

With ASHES, we'll build a bottom-up model of dust formation around evolved stars by combining chemistry, machine learning, and hydrodynamics.

I'm excited to get started next August, stay tuned for job openings!
📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out!

Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025!

Long rumoured to be the handiwork of @marievandesande.bsky.social, I have now had this confirmed off the record by a source very close to Marie.
