Kamber Schwarz is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany. They are affiliated with the ERC Origins group and the Planet Formation and Exoplanets team, focusing on the evolution of volatile gases during planet formation.

Research Interests: Schwarz investigates the availability of volatile carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in forming planetary systems. Their work integrates observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA), and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) with physical and chemical modeling to constrain reprocessing timescales and mechanisms.
