MAMSIE Board Meeting I • Leuven, 31 January 2017, 10h30-12h30 followed by a joint lunch, Van Hoof seminar room, Institute of Astronomy, KU Leuven • In attendance: Profs J. Christensen-Dalsgaard, T. Rogers, S. Mathis, C. Aerts; MAMSIE team members: A. Tkachenko, C. Johnston, E. Vermeyen, D. Bowman (B. Buysschaert and M. G. Pedersen at work abroad); other Leuven team members: E. Moravveji, P. Pápics, T. Van Reeth, 
 S. Sekaran, V. Schmid


 Application 
 to single & binary stars with 
 mass between 
 3 and 30 solar masses, magnetic and non-magnetic, slow and fast rotators… 
 meanwhile broadened to: 
 single & binary stars born with a 
 convective 
 core… 
 + 
 TESS CVZ stars 
 with low & high metallicity

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)
