Almost 14 years ago, I started developing a Monte Carlo code for dust evolution in protoplanetary disks. The code is now publicly available! 🚀 This was possible thanks to the hard work of @turbulenthuman.bsky.social and @nereagurru.bsky.social 🙌

Take a look to learn more about the prospects of forming close-in exoplanets in-situ by pebble accretion!
Excited to announce that my first first-author paper, on pebble accretion, has finally been accepted by #MNRAS! Extremely grateful to @astrojoanna.bsky.social and @turbulenthuman.bsky.social for having helped and guided me on this work for the past 2 years!

Can Close-In Exoplanets form by Pebble Accretion?
Pebble accretion is the leading theory for the formation of exoplanets more massive than the Earth. Many parameters influence planet growth in the pebble accretion models. In this paper, we study the ...

Most of the planet formation models assume a Solar-type central star. But exoplanets form around stars of various masses and compositions. Do you want to work on exoplanet formation models? Apply now to join our group as a postdoctoral researcher next year!

What are the meteorites actually telling us about the Solar System formation? Are the meteorite parent bodies really left-over planetesimals? 🤔 If you would like to investigate this, apply to work with me as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Solar System Formation! The deadline is January 15th, 2025.

On #InternationalWomensDay, here's a quick reminder how to retain more women in academia:
- educate yourself on unconscious biases,
- provide a safe work environment with no everyday sexism,
- include us in decision making,
- don't force us into service work that no one wants to do.
