Research

Introduction

My main research concerns the understanding and mitigation of stellar activity. Stellar surface phenomena (such as oscillations, granulation and active regions) can induce apparent radial velocity (RV) variations of several meters per second, mimicking or obscuring potential gravitationally induced planetary signals. Currently, I am investigating the impact of magnetic fields and granulation on spectral line distortions using Sun-as-a-star observations from the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope (PoET).
