Research Assistant Professor (Physical sciences)

I am an observational astronomer specialising in multi-wavelength studies of the phases of late-stage stellar evolution. I am interested in the physics of mass-loss in single and binary systems, the end-points of massive star evolution, and the interaction of ejecta with the interstellar medium.
