Research

I finished my PhD in astrophysics at the University of Ljubljana under the supervision of prof. dr. Tomaž Zwitter. My current research interest is peculiar emission-type stars, classification of stellar spectra, and double lined spectroscopic binaries. I conduct my research as a member of one of the working groups in each Gaia-ESO and Galah spectroscopic surveys.

Other interests: binary and multiple systems, stellar evolution, stellar ages, stellar classification, peculiar stars, Galactic archaeology, stellar spectroscopy
