About me

Since March 31-03-2009, I am an STFC postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) of the University of Cambridge, in the Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics and Non-linear Dynamics group. From 01-10-2006 until 30-03-2009 I was a postdoctoral researcher in the same group. My research focuses on the theory of planet formation, in particular how newly born planets interact with their place of birth, and on whether planets can form in close binary systems.

Before coming to Cambridge, I obtained my masters degree and PhD at Leiden Observatory, under supervision of dr. Garrelt Mellema in the Theory Group led by prof. dr. Vincent Icke.
