Stellar evolution – Modelling – Rotation – Red giants – Massive stars

Specialized in stellar evolution modelling I have been studying the impact of transport processes of matter and angular momentum on the evolution and nucleosynthesis of stars of all kinds of masses, from solar-type stars to massive O and WR stars. In the way I have also explored 3D MHD simulations to gain insight on transport processes. I am involved in the Stellar Physics part of the PLATO mission, and happen to be particularly interested in low-metallicity massive stars lately.
