Professor JJ Hermes is an Assistant Professor at Boston University, specializing in the study of white dwarf stars, which represent the final evolutionary state of over 97 percent of stars in the galaxy. His research focuses on high-precision observations of endpoints stars, planets, and binary systems. He employs techniques such as asteroseismology and time-domain astrophysics to explore these celestial phenomena. Through the analysis of pulsating binary white dwarfs, he aims to determine fundamental parameters of these burnt-out stars. His work also investigates the potential of white dwarf stars as stable clocks to test general relativity and to reveal the presence of giant planets. Additionally, his research allows for the observation of stellar evolution on human timescales.
