Universe. Code. Music. What ties them together? Harmony. Physicists call it physical laws, coders call it algorithms, and musicians call it rhythm.
In this quest, I study how stars and planets form, build tools that bring scientific ideas to life, and chase melody
wherever I find it.

<h3>Understanding Ices in Protostellar Systems</h3>
<p>I investigate the frozen building blocks of planets in their earliest environments. As part of INDRA, I led the analysis
of ices in IRAS 2A, tracing how these reservoirs influence the formation of planetary systems like comets.
