In my research, I use knowledge of stars and stellar evolution to understand
unusual stars in dense places, their interactions and their effect on their
environment.
A selection of questions that my group is interested in:
I answer these questions using a variety of theoretical techniques and computer codes. Depending on the situation, I use stellar evolution codes, smoothed particle hydrodynamic codes or stellar dynamics codes, running on computers which range from laptops to supercomputers.
I am an active member of collaborations with researchers from Canada, the US
and Europe, including the MODEST
(MOdelling DEnse STellar Systems) collaboration and the MYStIX collaboration.
