Welcome to my webpage! I’m an assistant professor at the KU Leuven (Belgium).
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 Leuven Gravity Institute and a guest researcher at the Anton Pannekoek Institute in Amsterdam.
My research is of theoretical nature, mostly using numerical simulations to study the Universe.
