Research interests
My main research interest is the theory of the formation of stars, brown dwarfs and planets, in particular the roles played by impulsive dynamical processes, magnetic fields, thermal physics, radiation transport and feedback, in determining the masses, clustering and binary properties of stars. I make extensive use of computer simulations, combined with other theoretical and statistical tools, and I enjoy close collaborations with the observers in the School. I am also interested in stellar evolution, interstellar matter, and galactic structure.
