Deciphering the physics of massive stars through advanced modeling
My research sits at the intersection of observational astrophysics and computational stellar modeling. I focus on the most extreme stars of our Universe: massive O- and B-type stars. These objects are the cosmic engines of galactic evolution, yet their rapid rotation and complex geometries challenge our traditional one-dimensional understanding of stellar physics.
The core of my scientific output is built around three fundamental pillars:
Stellar Rotation
Investigating how rotational distortion and gravity darkening affect the observable properties of fast rotators, correcting long-standing biases in spectral classification and physical parameters.
Binary Interactions
Modeling overcontact and detached binaries to extract precise physical parameters (e.g., masses and radii), essential for constraining the latest stellar evolution tracks.
A significant portion of my contributions involves the development and application of 3D spectroscopic synthesis. By using the SPAMMS framework, my work enables the community to move beyond spherical symmetry, accounting for non-LTE effects and surface asymmetries in both isolated stars and interacting systems.
Below is a curated list of my peer-reviewed publications, ongoing projects, and collaborative efforts within the international astrophysics community.
