Research

IFJ PAN – Kraków, Poland

Summer 2025 Internship under Dr. David Álvarez Castillo
Applied a Fisher Information Matrix framework to estimate tidal-deformability uncertainties in binary neutron-star systems. Converted a Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV) solver from Fortran to Python, computed mass–radius and tidal-deformability relations, and compared results to GW170817 data.

Teide Observatory – Tenerife, Spain

Observational fieldwork at the IAC’s Teide Observatory. Conducted multi-band imaging and constructed HR diagrams.

Independent Research

Independent outside of my academic studies. I have worked on projects such as use HEASoft to analyse observations from the NICER telescope.
