Astrochemistry of evolved stars
Dr Marie Van de Sande
Oort Fellow at Leiden Observatory
I develop chemical kinetics models of the outflows of Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and use them to interpret observations of these complex environments.
ERC Starting Grant
ASHES starts in August 2026 at University College Dublin
ASHES will quantify how the dust produced by AGB stars depends on the specific outflow from which it originates.
