PyTorch

I’m a PhD candidate in astronomical instrumentation at Leiden Observatory. My research focuses on adaptive optics – the technology that allows ground-based telescopes to overcome the blurring effects of Earth’s atmosphere. Specifically I’m interested in improving systems that operate at high angular resolution and high contrast, such as those used for imaging exoplanets. My work involves both the design of optical systems and the development of algorithms for real-time wavefront sensing and control.
