I am a theoretical astrophysicist who applies physical laws to understand astronomical phenomena. My primary research interest is studying the physics and chemistry of the middle and upper atmosphere of gas giant exoplanets, as well as their escape, through both the analysis of observations and theoretical modeling. Additionally, I have constructed an interior structure model of terrestrial exoplanets to constrain their compositions, and a radiative transfer model to study the physics of interacting supernova remnants.
