Welcome

This website is being updated, so some parts are still empty. More info is coming soon(ish).

About me:

Since December 2009 I am working at the Leiden Observatory as a NOVA postdoc with Paul van der Werf and Frank Israel. My research focuses on the chemistry and excitation of the (molecular) ISM in (nearby) luminous IR galaxies. I am mostly working on analysing Herschel observations that are part of the HerCULES and HEXGAL key programs. The (little) time I have left I spend on related science using observations of ground based telescopes, as well as some theoretical modelling of the ISM.
