Autorenporträt

Dominic Bowman is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Astronomy at KU Leuven in Belgium. His research interests include asteroseismology of intermediate-mass stars such as delta Scuti and roAp stars, and high-mass stars such as SPB and beta Cephei stars. One of his particular interests is the search and interpretation of observational signatures of internal gravity waves in stars with convective cores, which provides constraints for angular momentum transport and mixing in 3D hydrodynamical simulations. Dominc is currently involved in the asteroseismic working groups for the Kepler and TESS missions on main sequence A and F stars.
