About me
|
Welcome to my web page!
I am a Senior Lecturer (universitetslektor) at Lund Observatory at Lund University
in Sweden. Here I work on topics such as planet formation, accretion
discs, turbulence, and supercomputing.
I finished my PhD in 2007 at Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in
Heidelberg. 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, 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.

I am a core developer of the Pencil Code,
a highly modular and versatile code for simulating hydrodynamical flows
with embedded dust particles.

My research group currently hosts six PhD students and three Senior
Research Fellows. The group's activities are
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's activities are 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.

Comedian: Yo, check this out: black guys drive a car like this.
[Leans back, as though his elbow were on the windowsill]
Do, do, ch. Do-be-do, do-be-do-be-do.
Yeah, but white guys, see, they drive a car like this.
[Hunches forward, talks nasally]
Dee-da-dee, a-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee.
[Audience howls with laughter]
