I studied small scale magnetic elements on the solar photosphere using spectropolarimetric data that I obtained at Istituto Ricerche Solari Locarno (IRSOL) with ZIMPOL II spectropolarimeter during my PhD studies in the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) on the Physical Processes in the Solar System and Beyond, which takes place at Max Planck Insitut für Sonnensystemforschung (MPS ) in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany.
 
I continued in the solar team six more months as a postdoc to investigate the nature of micropores as seen in the deep solar photosphere.
 
After six months of postdoc in the solar group, I turned my face to the cool side of the solar system to work with comets and joined the OSIRIS Team, at MPS as a postdoc. I am an associate scientist in the OSIRIS team working on various projects from impact simulations to multispectral investigation of asteroid surfaces and cometary nuclei including activity features.
 
After the Rosetta mission was over, I joined comets and asteroids group in the DLR institute of planetary research for the Rosetta data analysis. Here I am, now in Berlin.
