🔭 Research Overview

My research focuses on the evolution and explosion of massive binary stars.
Through a combination of analytic theory, numerical simulation, and stellar population modelling,
I explore how binary interactions shape the fates of massive stars and produce diverse transients and compact objects.


Massive Binary Evolution

Binary mass transfer, common-envelope evolution, and orbital dynamics leading to gravitational-wave progenitors.

Core-Collapse Supernovae

Shock propagation and light curve evolution in supernova–CSM interaction, modelled analytically and numerically.

Globular Cluster Populations

Binary interactions and stellar feedback shaping multiple populations in globular clusters.
