I am a Research Fellow in Astrophysics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. My research focuses on the interaction between Jupiter’s moons and their space environment. I combine particle measurements from spacecraft with computer modelling to study Europa, Io and other outer Solar System moons, improving our understanding of their atmospheres, magnetospheric interactions and, in the case of icy ocean worlds such as Europa, their potential habitability.

I am an associate scientist to the Particle Environment Package (PEP), one of the scientific instruments on the European Space Agency’s JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE). My research supports the interpretation of particle measurements that will help reveal how Jupiter’s moons interact with their surrounding space environment.

Before joining DIAS, I held research positions at Khalifa University (Abu Dhabi) and the European Space Agency (ESTEC, the Netherlands). I received my PhD from TU Braunschweig for work conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. I previously completed an MSc in Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology and spent two years as a student researcher at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.
