Welcome! I'm Aida ("eye-duh") I work at the intersection of exoplanets and galactic archaeology
... Which exists now that we're in the era of large-scale surveys, and are discovering exoplanets on industrial levels - it's an exciting time!
I use data-driven techniques to extract information on stars and their planets from big surveys (e.g., Gaia, SDSS), and targeted multi-wavelength spectroscopic/RV observations. I'm interested in:
- Planet demographics in different regions of our Galaxy, the Milky Way
(i.e, thin/thick disk, halo).
- Fingerprints of planet formation and dynamics (e.g., planet engulfment)
in host star properties (e.g., kinematics, chemical abundances, ages).
- Chemical (in)homogeneity of co-moving stars as tracers of the Milky Way's formation history.
(i.e, thin/thick disk, halo).
