Andrew Cumming is an Associate Professor at McGill University, affiliated with the Trottier Space Institute. His research primarily focuses on stellar astrophysics, particularly in the study of compact objects such as neutron stars and white dwarfs, and their interactions with other celestial bodies. He investigates phenomena including thermonuclear burning, magnetic field evolution, and the properties of dense matter. His work aims to connect observed properties of exoplanets with theories regarding the structure, formation, and evolution of Solar System planets. He also explores the interaction of convection and composition gradients in Jupiter, the crystallization-driven convection in white dwarfs, and dynamics of neutron stars, including super-Eddington winds and flows in magnetized hot Jupiters.
