Research

The majority of stars have companions, making binary and triple star systems a fundamental part of stellar populations. My work focuses on understanding the physical processes that shape the evolution of multiple star systems and their population-wide properties. You can find my publications on NASA ADS or arXiv.

Triple star systems

Triples are common and dynamically rich, offering a natural laboratory for studying stellar mergers, population evolution, and the origins of exotic stellar phenomena. Much of my work on triples is carried out in collaboration with Smadar Naoz, focusing on how 3-body dynamics couple to stellar evolution and mass transfer.

Binary star systems

Binaries are ubiquitous and form the inner building blocks of triples and higher-order systems. I’m interested in understanding the physical processes that govern binary evolution, such as constraining the outcomes of binary mass transfer, through observations and theoretical modeling.

Broader Interests

Alongside these core themes, I remain generally curious about a range of related problems across astrophysics. This includes studying stellar populations in other galaxies, measuring precise stellar ages, and (occasionally) studying exoplanets.
