About me
I am a PhD student in the Astronomy Department at Stockholm University, working with Prof. Göran Östlin and Prof. Angela Adamo. I specialize in the study of resolved stellar populations, star-formation histories, and chemical enrichment of dwarf galaxies within the nearby Universe. Alongside my research, I am deeply passionate about teaching and engaging in public outreach initiatives. My unique position as a pair-PhD involves a focus on higher education teaching in Astronomy alongside my daily research, made possible through a collaborative effort with the Department of Teaching and Learning.
