NIRSpec Instrument & Calibration Scientist

ESA JWST Instrument & Calibration Scientist, working on the NIRSpec Microshutter Array, which aims to enable the collection of >100 faint object spectra simultaneously.

Extragalactic Astronomer with scientific intersts including

• Star formation and evolution of cluster galaxies
• High-redshift galaxies via gravitational (cluster) lensing

Paricularly focusing on dusty star formation probed by ESA's Herschel Space Observatory, and multi-wavelength continuum analysis.
