With a dual background in aerospace engineering and in space sciences, I am currently leading a research group at the ETH Zürich (Switzerland), funded by the ERC Starting Grant Nr. 851544: “The Heliosphere and the Dust: Characterization of the Solar and Interstellar Neighbourhood”. My daily work covers research, teaching, supervision, outreach talks, publishing and community service (organizing meetings, refereeing publications, editing books, mentoring, etc.). I've been a consultant for the European Space Agency in 2024, and regularly engage in interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues from other fields to allow for synergies that push the field forward.
