Hello! My name is Abinaya Swaruba Rajamuthukumar, and I am a theoretical stellar astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Munich.

My research focuses on the evolution and dynamics of multiple stellar systems, especially binaries and triples involving white dwarfs. I study how stellar interactions shape ultra-compact binaries in the Galaxy and how these systems can give rise to white dwarf explosions and Type Ia supernovae.
