We are very excited to welcome Davide Staub to the lab as a PhD student!

Davide brings a strong interdisciplinary background at the interface of machine learning, physics, and data-driven scientific discovery. His research will focus on developing differentiable tools to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of exoplanet atmospheres from James Webb Space Telescope observations, advancing our ability to interpret complex astronomical data.

Before joining the lab, Davide worked at the HomanLab at the Psychiatric University Hospital of Zürich, where he combined brain imaging and large language models to study how the brain processes narratives. We look forward to the new perspectives and innovations he will bring as he helps push the boundaries of data-driven astrophysics.
