Hi! I'm Elsa.

I am a postdoc at the CEA, working in the MIRI instrument science team to observe the day side emission of terrestrial temperate planets with the James Webb Space Telescope. Previously I was a PhD student at the University of Liège working under the supervision of Dr Michaël Gillon. I am interested in the search of habitable planets around ultra-cool star. I am notably involved in the SPECULOOS project and a lot of my time is dedicated to the study of the Trappist-1 system.
