Bio/Research

Circumstellar material is common among massive, early-type stars and often takes the form of an equatorial disk.

I construct computational models of these disks to try to understand how they form and what their physical conditions are. Numerical radiative transfer techniques are used to predict spectra and images of the circumstellar material. Models are constrained by comparison to images obtained via the rapidly developing field of optical interferometry and to spectroscopy obtained at a wide variety of wavelengths. This research offers many computationally challenging problems.
