I first joined Prof. Luciano Rezzolla’s RelAstro group for my Bachelor’s thesis in 2021 and subsequently completed my Master’s thesis in the group. Since December 2023, I have been a PhD student in the group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the structure and evolution of compact objects, particularly the remnants of binary neutron star mergers. I investigate how neutrino radiation and magnetic fields influence their long-term evolution, with an interest in the implications for matter outflows and electromagnetic counterparts. To study these processes, I develop neutrino-transport methods and perform numerical simulations in general relativity.
Previously I have also worked on differential rotation in hypermassive neutron stars and isolated neutron stars, equilibrium tori around black holes in different metric theories of gravity and exotic compact objects composed of two dark matter fluids.
Beyond research, I am a founding and board member of Physik für Alle e.V., where I contribute to physics outreach for schools. I also create astrophysics-inspired artwork, exploring my scientific interests through illustration and visual art. You can find my work on my Art website. with acrylic paintings and digital illustrations related to astrophysics.
Here is my list of publications on INSPIRE-HEP and scientific CV:
