My work focused on the study of the structure of the Milky Way and its surrounding population of satellite galaxies, as well as their stellar populations. For this I used and developed new tools and methods to analyze color-magnitude data from millions of stars. Furthermore, I organized an institute retreat and worked on (successful) grant applications.

Assistent in Opleiding, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands

For my PhD thesis I developed a fully automated pipeline for the reduction and analysis of large amounts of data, resulting in a number of scientific publications. This work was part of an international research group that performed a 5-year intensive survey of the Andromeda galaxy in order to detect gravitational microlensing events. I also was teaching assistant for the course Stellar Evolution for two years.
