Research:
- Compact stars:
- 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, see figure below).
- Modelling of cyclotron radiation from the accretion columns of mCVs.
