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.

Research profile

Research group

My research focuses on computer simulations of planet formation. I am
especially interested in the dynamics of dust particles in turbulent
protoplanetary discs. This is relevant for the formation of
planetesimals and protoplanets, the first steps on the way to real
planets.

to see my publication list on ADS (sort by
citations). My Google scholar page can be found here.
I am a co-developer of the Pencil Code,
a high order finite difference magnetohydrodynamics code that is
highly modular and versatile.

My research group currently hosts four PhD students, a postdoctoral
fellow and two 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 topics in Lund.
We hold computing grants at the Alarik system at Lunarc in Lund and
through a European PRACE project.

Today's quote
|
Agent: Tell you what, sir. From now on, you'll be, uh, Homer Thompson at
Terror Lake. Let's just practise a bit, hmm? When I say "Hello, Mr.
Thompson", you'll say "Hi."
Homer: Check.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
Homer: [stares blankly]
Agent: Remember now, your name is Homer Thompson.
Homer: I gotcha.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
Homer: [stares blankly]
[A long time later]
Agent: [sighs in frustration] Now, when I say "Hello, Mr. Thompson" and
press down on your foot, you smile and nod.
Homer: No problem.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson! [stomps on Homer's foot a few times]
Homer: [stares blankly]
[to other agent] I think he's talking to _you_.
