Science • Potential Science Projects
I am available to supervise projects on a wide variety of subjects, ranging from stellar population studies to detailed stellar evolution. In particular, if you are interested in the following subjects please contact me:
  • Chemical abundances in single- and binary-stars, particularly at low metallicity
  • Mass-transfer and orbital evolution in binary stars
  • Quantiative studies of large numbers of massive stars: comparing models to the new Tarantula VLT FLAMES survey
  • Explaining spin rates in massive stars
  • Mixing in stars: rotation, magnetic fields, chemical gradients
  • Globular clusters and the multiple-population problem
  • Galactic chemical evolution
  • Stellar explosion progenitor studies, in particular the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts and type Ib/c supernovae
