That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.

My research focuses on white dwarf stars, which are the dense end products of most stars after they run out of nuclear fuel. In particular, I am searching for new planets around white dwarfs that provide a glimpse into the future of our own Solar System. I also analyze the vibrations of stars that reveal the conditions of their deep interiors.
