About
My interest resides in understanding how the coagulation of tiny grains can build habitable worlds.
For that, I use dust and ice coagulation/transport models to infer how the solid and gas-phase composition of the disc evolves with time. Given the profound link that exists between the properties of dust particles and the formation of planets, I have also attempted to push our knowledge about the structure of dust particles, such as how they respond to the sublimation of their ice content (Houge+2024), using objects undergoing accretion outbursts as laboratories.
I recently started a Postdoc at the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen, working with Anders Johansen. Before that, I completed my PhD at University of Exeter with Sebastiaan Krijt, and got to work on amazing ALMA data with Enrique Macias at the European Southern Observatory in Garching.
I am also a proud member of the JDISCS team, a fantastic network of observers and modelers working on JWST data.
