About
Andrej Prša is a Professor at Villanova University, USA. His research areas focus on the study of eclipsing binaries, with recent contributions including analyses of high-mass-ratio contact binaries and the impact of various astronomical factors on light curves. He has published articles on the application of artificial intelligence to binary star analysis and the precision timing of eclipsing binaries using TESS data.
