I use a multi-wavelength approach to understanding massive X-ray binaries, their evolution and their role as tracers of star formation. I am also particularly interested in how the Be star circumstellar discs influence the accretion process in Be X-ray binaries.
Recent projects include:
Massive X-ray binaries in the Magellanic Bridge Searching for LMXBs in the SMC
