Core-collapse Supernova Progenitors from Binary Systems
This project used MESA simulations to follow massive binary systems to core collapse. By comparing models with different mass ratios, the work examined how binary interaction changes the pre-supernova structures of massive stars.
Awarded the Best Presentation Award at the NCTS-TCA Final Symposium.
I ran the binary stellar-evolution models, compared the resulting evolutionary tracks and pre-collapse structures, and communicated the analysis in the program's final oral presentation.
