Research interests:
My work deals with the search and characterisation of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood, open clusters, and star-forming regions as well as the study of the shape of the mass function in the low-mass, substellar, and planetary-mass regimes. More specific interests include:
-
Characterisation of nearest and coolest low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood
-
Study of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in open clusters and star-forming regions. Optical and near-infrared photometry and astrometry are employed to uncover cluster members prior to subsequent spectroscopic follow-up
-
Low-mass eclipsing binaries
-
Companions to nearby brown dwarfs and substellar members in clusters
-
Metal-poor low-mass stars and brown dwarfs
-
Exoplanets around young M dwarfs
-
Cool white dwarfs
