Morgan MacLeod is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical Astrophysics and ITC Member whose research focuses on stellar encounters in binary systems and their imprints on the transient night sky. 

Morgan uses computational and simulation methods to trace close encounters of stars and compact objects (like black holes and neutron stars) in binary systems and dense clusters. Morgan's research aims at understanding the evolutionary history of objects that end up in binaries that merge under the influence of gravitational wave emission.
