Jeff Andrews

Jeff Andrews is Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Florida, specializing in theoretical astrophysics. He holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University (2016) and researches binary star systems, black hole formation, and astrometric data analysis.

His work investigates stellar interactions and compact object formation using hydrodynamic simulations and population synthesis models. Recent publications explore merging black hole binaries and detection methods for free-floating black holes using Gaia mission data.

Andrews develops computational tools like 'dart_board' for binary population synthesis with Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. His research group focuses on dynamics of stellar systems and gravitational wave source formation.
