About
I'm interested in computational science 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 study interfacial instabilities, buoyant flows, and combustion problems with applications to Type Ia supernovae, which are interesting in themselves and very important for quantitative cosmology; bubbles and magnetic draping in galaxy clusters; and fragmentation and wind-interactions in disks. I have also recently worked on the physics of mixing and enrichment in novae, detonations, galaxy formation, and efficient and accurate numerical techniques for studying these phenomenon.
