Ylva Götberg is the Alvin E. Nashman Fellow in theoretical astrophysics. Her research focuses on interacting binary stars and how they impact on their surroundings. She uses computational tools to understand how interacting binaries, for example, affect the surrounding nebulae or contribute to cosmic reionization and to predict new classes of gravitational wave sources.
Götberg received her Ph.D. in astrophysics from University of Amsterdam.
