| In my research, I use observational spectropolarimetry combined with radiative transfer modeling to investigate the geometrical structure and other properties of the circumstellar material surrounding massive stars and supernovae. This circumstellar material is ejected by stars through strong mass-loss episodes in the late stages of their evolution and later illuminated by the supernova explosion. My goal is to identify links between progenitors and supernova types by correlating their circumstellar characteristics. |

| I am also part of the collaboration that renovated and now operates the HPOL spectropolarimeter at the University of Toledo's Ritter Observatory. |
