RESEARCH INTERESTS
Evolution of dust in protoplanetary disks (PhD thesis). Theoretical modelling of various aggregation processes. Projects include:
| ‒ | Development of detailed coagulation models. A state-of-the-art, Monte Carlo coagulation model is developed, which can cope with (independent) multi-variate parameters. |
| ‒ | Chondrule dust rimming and accretion. First stages of meteorite assembly? |
| ‒ | Fragmentation of dust in disks. Needed to fit observations. |
Star Formation in InfraRed Dark Clouds. Project investigated the presence of sources (young stars) in the W51 IRDC.
