| Project | Years | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen-rich explosions in TARDIS | 2025 - Present | What can the fingerprints of the explosions of celestial objects tell us about the objects themselves? |
| A Buddy for Betelgeuse | 2024 - Present | In investigating the Long Secondary Period Phenomena, we found that the star Betelgeuse has a tiny companion orbiting it! |
| Stars explode in Galaxies / Some stars fade quietly | 2023 - Present | Collaboration with Galaxy/ISM theorists to understand the importance of varied supernova feedback in galactic environments as revealed by star-by-star-resolution simulations. |
| Massive Star Envelopes in 3D: Convection, Pulsations, Explosions oh my! | 2020 - Present | The envelopes of Massive Stars show large-scale turbulence which couples with pulsations to create a rich circumstellar environment. We model these phenomena using 3D radiation-hydronamics simulations with Athena++. |
| Stars and Supernovae with MESA+STELLA | 2017 - Present | Modeling spherical stars and their explosions with Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) |
| And more!!! | These are just a subset of bigger projects. And I have additional projects with students and collaborators in the pipeline, so stay tuned! I love all things stars, time-domain astrophysical phenomena, and more! |
