My research is both numerical and observational in nature and focuses on orbital stability and radio detection of exoplanets and exomoons.The numerical aspect of my work with orbital stability aims to examine the potential for these systems to be directly detected by modern radio telescopes, which constitutes the observational aspect of my work.
