Dr Nils de Vries

I am a postdoctoral research fellow working on stellar modeling of evolved stars with Prof. Isabelle Baraffe, simulating mixed modes in these evolved stars using MUSIC. particularly interested in studying their effect on stellar evolution through the likes of anuglar momentum transport. 

I received my PhD from the University of Leeds in 2024, advised by Profs. Adrian Barker and Rainer Hollerbach, studying tidal dissipation in Hot Jupiters as a result of the elliptical and precessional instabilities.

My main research interests include simulations of (rotating) convection, tides and the waves excited by them in giant planets and stars, as well as the effect they have on their interiors.
