Storytelling of stellar evolution, massive white dwarfs, and remnant planetary systems

I am a 6th year PhD candidate in the BU White Dwarf group, guided by Professor JJ Hermes. I am most interested in massive white dwarfs in the context of remnant planetary systems and stellar mergers.

I am passionate about science communication, DEI efforts, and outreach. I co-founded Inclusive Astronomy at Boston University which aims to coordinate public engagement for underserved communities while fostering community within our department. I also co-founded the Astro Grad Congress to promote inter-departmental discourse.

Born and raised in Paris, France, I seek to connect with others and combine ways of thinking science. Ultimately, I am eager to combine research, teaching, service and public engagement through a career in Academia. Outside of work, I love to wander around cities, ride my bicycle towards bodies of water, explore creative outlets at coffee places, or discover new perspectives through cinema.

Research Themes

Remnant Planetary Systems

Metal pollution in white dwarfs as a signpost for surviving planetary material.

Stellar Mergers

Using kinematics to identify white dwarfs that are the byproducts of stellar mergers.

Galactic Archaeology

Reading white dwarf populations as fossil records of the Milky Way's history.

Service & Outreach

Inclusive Astronomy

Supporting underrepresented students and faculty in the BU Astronomy Department.

Science Train

Bringing astronomy outreach directly to Bostonians on the MBTA.

Astro Grad Congress

Connecting astronomy graduate students across departments nationwide.
