Steve Ertel

Hello! My name is Steve Ertel, I'm a post-doctoral fellow at ESO with duties at the Paranal Observatory (VLTI). I am working on the formation and evolution of planetary systems, in particular debris disks and exozodiacal dust. My work focuses on (but is not limited to) imaging observations of debris disks in all wavelength regimes, near-infrared interferometric observations of exozodiacal dust, and the simultaneous modeling of all available data of debris disks (mostly using analytical models).
