van der Waals Visiting Professorship at UvA
I am honoured and grateful to take up the role of
van
der Waals Visiting Professor at the
Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy,
UvA this May. The visit is a fantastic opportunity to work with
long-standing collaborators as well as making new connections both in API
and the Gravitation and AstroParticle Physics Amsterdam (GRAPPA) group.
Research plans include working on thermonuclear bursts, to combine modelling efforts on the burst energetics and oscillations, with a view to constraining the properties of the neutron-star hosts. Additionally, I hope to engage with those interested in multi-wavelength followups of gravitational-wave events, along similar lines to our GOTO project.
Very excited to kick off the visit shortly!
