Ingrid Pelisoli is an Assistant Professor and a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Astronomy Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick. Her primary research focuses on understanding white dwarf transients and the effects of binary interactions during the final stages of stellar evolution. Pelisoli investigates various types of stars that exist in binary systems, particularly hot subdwarf stars and white dwarf pulsars. Through her expertise in binary systems, she aims to unravel mechanisms that lead to supernovae Type Ia, which are crucial for measuring the expansion of the Universe. As the leader of the White Dwarf Binaries (WDbin) team, she collaborates with members like Gabriela da Rosa, Taf Zivave, James Munday, and Noel Castro Segura to search for and characterize remarkable binary evolution outcomes. Utilizing data from extensive public surveys, they identify objects of interest based on observed photometric variability, high radial velocity shifts, and unexpected positions in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Further follow-up observations are conducted to better understand the physical properties of these objects, contributing valuable insights into binary evolution.
