My research combines astronomical observations with computational modeling to investigate the physics of massive O- and B-type stars. These hot, luminous stars play an important role in the evolution of galaxies, but their extreme properties make them challenging to model. In particular, many of them rotate rapidly enough that centrifugal forces significantly distort their surfaces, producing strong variations in effective gravity, temperature, and emergent radiation across the stellar photosphere.

I develop three-dimensional models that account for these departures from spherical symmetry and connect the physical structure of a star directly to its observable signatures. By combining detailed spectral synthesis with interferometric modeling, I aim to understand how rotation, surface geometry, and temperature variations shape the spectra and spatially resolved observables of rapidly rotating stars.

The publications collected here reflect this work, spanning stellar atmosphere modeling, three-dimensional spectral synthesis, and the combined analysis of spectroscopic and interferometric observations. Together, they seek to bridge the gap between realistic stellar models and the observations used to test them.
