Research

I've been working on stellar evolution and star formation since last century. For some years I studied eclipsing binary systems in order to determine absolute parameters and test evolutionary models. In the beginning of my PhD I worked with stellar atmosphere models and calculated limb-darkening and gravity-brightening coefficients for cool stars and illuminated atmospheres, as those of close binary systems. Then I moved to star formation, studying T Tauri stars. I currently work on the dynamics of the star-disk interaction during pre-main sequence and its consequence to the angular momentum evolution of the young star-disk system. I am also involved in the study of magnetic fields in accreting and non-accreting young stellar systems. A list of published papers is available to download.
