  • About

I am a DPhil candidate working on modeling the climate dynamics of rocky exoplanets in a runaway greenhouse state. I am interested in the evolution of optically thick, water-dominated atmospheres and their impact on the ability of the underlying surfaces to lose or regain habitable conditions at the onset of a runaway greenhouse effect and once the planet escapes this runaway. I have developped my own 1D band-grey radiative-convective model to explore these regimes, and I am also using it coupled to our 3D global climate model, exoFMS.

A recent work has focused on the coupling of a planetary mantle to its overlying secondary atmosphere through a magma ocean, and has studied the influence of the evolution of the volatile inventories and outgassing on mantle solidification, surface pressure, and vertical stratification of the atmosphere.
