My AMCM 2026 talk on von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai resonances and their coupling with mean-motion resonances, in the trans-Neptunian region and inside Jupiter's orbit: the deck and the theses, slide by slide.

A new paper in Astronomy & Astrophysics: a complete census of numbered asteroids inside Jupiter's orbit trapped in the von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai resonance. Only 201 of 863,471, and, unlike in the trans-Neptunian region, almost none of them are in a mean-motion resonance.

My ECP 2026 Edinburgh keynote on using commercial and open-source LLMs in qualitative and narrative personality research: tooling, RAG, skills, applications and confidentiality.

A new paper in Icarus: the first systematic census of von Zeipel–Lidov–Kozai resonances among trans-Neptunian objects. 81 TNOs trapped in ZLK — and every single one of them is also locked into a mean-motion resonance with Neptune.

A new paper in Scientific Reports: a systematic benchmark of multimodal LLMs — commercial and open-source, large and small — on a real astronomical classification problem. Commercial models hit F1 = 100% on simple cases; even small local open-source models reach surprisingly useful accuracy.

My open-source Python package 'resonances' now supports secular resonances — a major update enabling analysis of over 70 nonlinear resonances, published in Astronomy and Computing.

Just published my latest research on trans-Neptunian objects — found over 65% may be in resonant orbits with Neptune, much higher than expected!
