About the Ryu Group

I am interested in understanding the interactions of astrophysical black holes across all mass scales with their surroundings, including stars, gas, and even other black holes. In particular, I focus on dramatic interactions that are observable (or transients), such as tidal disruption events, stellar collisions, and electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves. My research interests also include stellar dynamics, blue stragglers, runaway star formation, hot Jupiters, and binary mass transfer. I use tools such as magnetohydrodynamical simulations with radiative transver and N-body simulations.
