About me
|
Welcome to my web page!
I am a Professor of Astronomy at Lund Observatory in the Department
of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics at Lund University
in Sweden. I am also a Professor of Planetary Sciences and Planet
Formation at the GLOBE Institute
at the University of Copenhagen. I work on the topics planet formation,
exoplanets, accretion discs, turbulence, and supercomputing.
I obtained my PhD degree in 2007 at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and at
Heidelberg University. After that I spent a bit more than two years as
a postdoc at Leiden
Observatory.
I obtained my docent degree from Lund University in 2013.

My research focuses on theoretical and computational models of planet
formation. I study a wide range of growth stages in the formation of
planets: the growth of dust grains to pebbles, the formation of
planetesimals (e.g, by the
streaming instability), the rapid planetary accretion by pebble
accretion, and the final assembly of planetary systems. This work
is relevant for understanding the planets of the Solar System as well
as the vast amount of exoplanets that have been discovered around other
stars.

My research group at Lund Observatory currently hosts five PhD students
and four Postdoctoral Fellows. The group is
funded by Lund University, the Swedish Research Council, the European
Research Council, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation, and the
Royal Physiographical Society of Lund. The group is part
of the bigger Theoretical Astrophysics and Observational and
Theoretical Astrophysics environments in Lund.
We hold supercomputing grants at the Lunarc Center for Scientific and
Technical Computing at Lund University and through the European PRACE collaboration.

Today's quote
|
There were six men of Hindustan,
to learning much inclined,
Who went to see an elephant,
though all of them were blind,
That each by observation
might satisfy his mind.
The first approached the elephant,
and happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
at once began to bawl,
"This mystery of an elephant
is very like a wall."
The second, feeling of the tusk,
cried, "Ho, what have we here,
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an elephant
is very like a spear."
The third approached the elephant,
and happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
thus boldly up and spake,
"I see," quoth he,
"the elephant is very like a snake."
The fourth reached out an eager hand,
and felt above the knee,
"What this most wondrous beast
is like is very plain" said he,
"'Tis clear enough the elephant
is very like a tree."
The fifth who chanced to touch the ear
said, "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
deny the fact who can;
This marvel of an elephant
is very like a fan."
The sixth no sooner had begun
about the beast to grope,
Than seizing on the swinging tail
that fell within his scope;
"I see," said he, "the elephant
is very like a rope."
So six blind men of Hindustan
disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
exceeding stiff and strong;
Though each was partly in the right,
they all were in the wrong!
-- John Godfrey Saxe
