Welcome to my personal webpage !

I am an observer working at the Royal Observatory of Belgium. My research focuses on massive stars. I am using ground and space-based facilities on world-class observational instruments through open time competition. Expert in multi-wavelength (Far-UV, Optical, Far-IR) analysis, I use and collect data from spectroscopy, photometry, interferometry to derive the observational properties of massive single stars and multiple systems in the Local Group. I also develop and apply state-of-the-art atmosphere models and spectral disentangling to measure fundamental properties of Gravitational Wave progenitors leading to improve our understanding of their formation, evolution and final fates.
