(Currently at CITA; new homepage is here)
I'm interested in Computational Astrophysics broadly --- understanding complex astrophysical systems through large-scale parallel multiphysics simulations; carefully examining microphysics both for its own sake and so that it can be included quantitatively in larger-scale models; and developing and analyzing computational techniques for use in astrophysical simulations. I currently study the physics of Type Ia supernovae, which are interesting in themselves and very important for quantitative cosmology. I have also recently worked on the physics of mixing and enrichment in novae, bubbles in galaxy clusters, detonations, galaxy formation, and efficient and accurate numerical techniques for studying these phenomenon.
