Projects

Models of Time-dependent Accretion Discs with OutflowsNumerical investigation of time-dependent accretion-disc evolution with mass feedback and outflows. The project developed and validated a Fortran model based on Shakura-Sunyaev disc solutions and wind-infall formulations to examine disc dynamics, angular-momentum transport and wind energy deposition.
Velocity discrimination in hydrogen-deficient white dwarfsUndergraduate research using Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectra to distinguish photospheric and interstellar absorption lines in hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs, helping constrain possible identifications for previously unidentified far-ultraviolet features.
Galaxy Facebook: X-ray source population analysis of the Galactic CentreUndergraduate research project analysing XMM-Newton observations of two Galactic Ridge fields to investigate intermediate-luminosity X-ray sources, compare spectral behaviour across energy bands, and identify candidate variable or transient sources.
Numerical N-body simulation in C++Undergraduate computational-astrophysics project developing a C++ framework for simulating the Newtonian gravitational N-body problem. The project implemented data structures, pairwise force calculations, softened gravitational potentials, leapfrog time integration, diagnostic calculations and initial-condition generation.
P/2010 A2 asteroid collision confirmed by Rosetta/OSIRISCollaborative analysis of ESA Rosetta/OSIRIS observations and ground-based imaging that established P/2010 A2's comet-like dust trail as debris from a single asteroid collision in the main belt, rather than sustained cometary activity.
SEPPCoN: Survey of the Ensemble Physical Properties of Cometary NucleiCollaborative observational programme investigating the physical and surface properties of Jupiter-family comet nuclei through thermal-infrared observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope and complementary ground-based visible-light measurements.
