I am a staff scientist at the CHARA Array. I work on building long-baseline interferometric and adaptive optics instruments and applying them for imaging stellar surfaces, and protoplanetary disks and detecting binaries. I worked on every currently operating major optical interferometers in the world, including the CHARA Array, the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), and the Large Binocular Interferometer (LBTI). Before joining the CHARA Array, I pursued Postdoc fellowships at the University of Arizona and the University Exeter/Michigan. While workin in Tucson, I participated in building the MAPS instrument for the MMT observatory. While working in Michigan/Exeter, I built sensitive beam combiners for CHARA, namely, MIRC-X (J+H-bands) and MYSTIC (K-band). I earned my Ph.D. degree from the University of Porto by involving in the successful development of VLTI/GRAVITY.
