Our research group specializes in the evolution of white dwarfs and low- to intermediate-mass stars, developing advanced computational models to study the structure, cooling, and observational properties of these compact remnants. We utilize LPCODE, a state-of-the-art stellar evolution code, to simulate the formation and evolution of white dwarfs under various astrophysical conditions. Our work provides essential theoretical support for interpreting observations and understanding fundamental physical processes in stars.
Research Areas
Our Group and Impact
Over the years, our group has built a strong reputation in the field of stellar astrophysics. We have trained numerous PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom have secured prestigious positions in internationally recognized institutes, such as the Max Planck Institute, Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC), and the University of Tübingen, The Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, among others. Our students contribute to diverse areas of astrophysics, leading research projects and advancing knowledge in the field.
Our group maintains active collaborations with research teams worldwide, including institutions in Europe, North America, and Latin America. We have participated in major research initiatives, secured competitive grants, and contributed to high-impact discoveries, some of which have been featured in leading scientific journals such as Nature.
We are committed to fostering a dynamic research environment that combines theoretical expertise with observational constraints, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of stellar evolution, planet formation, and the physics of compact objects.
