About me
|
Welcome to my web page!
I am a Full Professor of Astronomy at Lund Observatory in the Department
of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics at Lund University
in Sweden. Here 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.

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 five 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.

Today's quote
|
Homer: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates. They're nothing
but hideous space reptiles. [unmasks them]
[audience gasps in terror]
Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about it? It's a
two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
[murmurs]
Man1: He's right, this is a two-party system.
Man2: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away.
[Kang and Kodos laugh out loud]
