I'm delighted and honoured to share that I received an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant! With ASHES, we'll build a bottom-up model of dust formation around evolved stars by combining chemistry, machine learning, and hydrodynamics. I'm excited to get started next August, stay tuned for job openings!

Long rumoured to be the handiwork of @marievandesande.bsky.social, I have now had this confirmed off the record by a source very close to Marie.

The latest release of the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry is out! A major update from Rate12. www.aanda.org/2024-highlig... #astrochemistry

A wonderful example of how #astrochemistry can help understand stellar evolution! Very happy to be part of this work!
