Research

Morgan MacLeod is a theoretical and computational astrophysicist who studies the lives of stars. He focuses on how stars interact with stellar and planetary companions, how they form and evolve in dense clusters, and how they die, leaving behind stellar remnants like black holes. Morgan’s work highlights the connections between these events and their imprint on the time-domain night sky. 

Harvard University undergraduate and graduate students are always welcome to contact me to discuss research opportunities in theoretical astrophysics!
