My project focuses on the systematic characterization of millisecond pulsars recently discovered by MeerKAT, at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. This is achieved by leveraging the high spatial resolution and precise photometry provided by both proprietary and archival JWST and HST observations of dense globular cluster cores, where millisecond pulsars are preferentially found due to dynamical friction.
