Welcome to my webpage! I’m an assistant professor at the KU Leuven (Belgium) and a Veni fellow at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands).
At the Institute of Astronomy of KU Leuven, I lead the research team StarHearts on themes related to stellar astrophysics. Our research focus is the study of massive binary and multiple systems, their evolution, explosions, pulsations, and afterlives. I’m the PI of an FWO-Odysseus grant and of an NWO-Veni grant. In addition, I’m a member of the Anton Pannekoek Institute in Amsterdam, and of the Leuven Gravity Institute.
My research is of theoretical nature, mostly using numerical simulations to study the Universe.
