Modelling the atmospheric properties of Very Low Mass stars and brown dwarfs using a radiative transfer code called PHOENIX. The majority of my work involves spectroscopic follow-up observations (both high and low resolution) from world-class observing facilities of these faintest components of our Milky Way galaxy and comparing them with state-of-the-art atmospheric models to determine their fundamental physical properties. I am also interested in studying the magnetic activity in Mdwarfs with masses below 0.35M where they become fully convective and, unlike solar-type stars, lack the tachocline region, which is thought to be essential for their magnetic field generation. More recently, I have started working on characterizing the atmospheric properties of ultra-hot Jupiters.
