Research interests
- Compact stars, including: white dwarfs, neutron stars, pulsars and magnetars.
- Fluid mechanical problems related to accretion in binary stars and radiation transfer effects.
- Radiation processes and transfer mechanisms in accretion flows on to highly magnetic compact stars, such as the magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (MCVs).
- Modelling of cyclotron radiation from the accretion columns of MCVs.
