Main Focus
I am a Space Scientist and Pipeline Developer specializing in extracting insights from complex cosmic data to advance our understanding of the universe. At MPS, I design and optimize the high-performance calibration pipelines for the Submillimetre Wave Instrument (SWI) aboard ESA’s flagship JUICE mission to Jupiter. Currently, I synthesize statistical insights from Earth observation and Lunar data to refine the predictive calibration models used to ensure absolute instrument precision in deep space. My expertise lies at the intersection of planetary science, radio astronomy, and scientific software engineering. Over the past several years, I have built robust data processing frameworks, executed large-scale statistical modeling, and led multi-wavelength data reduction for deep-field interstellar research.
