My research tackles open questions in the evolution and death of massive stars, the origin of unusual astronomical transients, and the physics of stellar explosions. My innovative approach is to combine multi-wavelength observations of transient phenomena with studies of resolved stellar populations. I leverage wide-field time-domain surveys (e.g. KMTNet, ZTF) and gravitational wave facilities (LIGO, LISA), as well as advances in stellar astrophysics enabled by high-precision space-basedphotometers (e.g. Kepler, TESS) and large-scale spectroscopic surveys (e.g. SDSS, MSE). Sitting firmly at the intersection of fields poised for rapid progress, I am developing a comprehensive picture of the evolution, influence, and ultimate fate of massive stars.

我的研究解决了大质量恒星的演化和死亡，不寻常的天文瞬变的起源以及恒星爆炸的物理学中的开放性问题。我的创新方法是将联合收割机对瞬态现象的多波长观测与对已分辨的恒星种群的研究相结合。我利用宽场时域调查（例如KMTNet，ZTF）和引力波设施（LIGO，丽莎），以及由高精度天基光度计（例如开普勒，TESS）和大规模光谱调查（例如SDSS，MSE）实现的恒星天体物理学的进步。我稳坐在准备快速发展的领域的交叉点上，正在发展一幅关于大质量恒星的演化、影响和最终命运的全面图景。
