Dr. Mac Giolla Chainnigh conducts research which investigates the circumstellar morphology in symbiotic star systems. Symbiotic stars are binary systems in which one component, the "cool component", is a late-type star (e.g. a red giant), and the other component, the "hot component", is a compact object, typically a white dwarf.  Current work at RMC involves both observations and theoretical analysis of symbiotic stars.
