Research
In 1998 he and another astrophysicist, Thomas Driebe, described the evolution of helium white dwarfs[2] and two years later published his finding on evolution of convective overshooting of asymptotic giant branch stars.[3] In 1999 he and his colleagues described what happens after the star explodes. He used the PG 1159 star as an example and proved the existence of convective overshooting.[4]
