Dr. Vesperini's primary research area is in theoretical and computational stellar dynamics, with a focus on different aspects of the formation and dynamical evolution of globular star clusters and globular cluster systems. His current projects include investigation of the formation and dynamical evolution of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters, investigation of the evolution of young clusters in merging galaxies, and study of the evolution of Galactic and extra-galactic globular cluster systems.
