About my research: My main research topics are hot subdwarf binaries and the binary interaction processes that form them. These hot subdwarfs are core helium burning stars that have lost their envelope due to a common envelope phase, or due to stable mass transfer during Roche-lobe overflow. My focus is on these latter systems which end up on orbits with periods of several years. I am using spectral observations with a long time base to solved the orbital, as well as the stellar parameters. Using the stellar and binary evolution code MESA, extended with new binary interaction processes, I aim to test current binary interaction theory against the observed systems.
