I am a theoretical astrophysicist in the field of nova eruptions.
My research aims to understand the evolution and implications of nova eruptions from the onset of first mass transfer, all the way through to the total erodance of an MS donor (in the case of CVs) or to the transformation of the donor into a WD (in the case of an evolved giant donor).
Ph.D candidates who are interested in topics specified in Research are welcome to contact me for details.
