Research Interests
My research focuses on leveraging the theory of massive binary star evolution to understand stellar mass gravitational wave sources across cosmic time and the dormant compact object population in the Milky Way. To this end, my work connects detailed stellar evolution to observable populations using population synthesis modeling with the code POSYDON, for which I am a part of the core development team.
