Application
 to single & binary stars with
 mass between
 3 and 30 solar masses, magnetic and non-magnetic, slow and fast rotators…
 
 meanwhile broadened to:

PhD research May Gade Pedersen: 
 forward seismic modelling of 
 single B star pulsators with period spacing patterns Started June 2016:
 participation in MESA summer school
 getting familiar with MESA/GYRE
 focus on near-core mixing

PhD research May Gade Pedersen: 
 aim to improve forward seismic modelling of 
 two Kepler SPBs with lack of near-core mixing Moravveji et al. (2015, 2016)
