About me

I am an astrophysicist working currently as a Postdoctoral researcher in University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands) in collaboration with the group of Anna Watts. I study neutron stars using X-ray instruments like NICER and IXPE. Previously, I finished my PhD (at the end of 2020) in University of Turku (Finland) in the high-energy astrophysics group of Juri Poutanen.

Research

I mainly study topics related to high-energy astrophysics, including neutron stars, X-ray pulse profile modeling, equation of state of dense matter, neutron star atmospheres, radiative transfer, X-ray polarimetry, and accretion phenomena. In my work, I apply methods such as high-performance computing, coding in Python/Julia/Fortran/C++ language, and statistical inference. A list of my publications can be found here: ADS.
