I am currently an Astronomical Optics Scientist I at Space Telescope Science Institute. All of the projects that I work on are related to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and most of my projects are related to optics and instrumentation. Go here or check out my full CV to learn more.
In 2016 I received my Masters of Science in Astronomy with a focus on instrumentation from Leiden University in the small city of Leiden in the Netherlands.
My current work is as part of the team that will be commissioning JWST. Check out the video below from Northrup Grumman showing JWST's deployment after launch on its way to Lagrange point 2.
