I am a theoretical astrophysicist focusing on understanding accretion discs using numerical simulations. My research tries to connect 3D simulations of accretion discs to observations from facilities like ALMA to better understand how discs evolve. I consider a wide range of accretion discs from discs formed around black holes all the way down to planet forming discs around young stars. In particular, I am very interested in distorted discs, where the disc has a non-flat geometry.

I am also an expert on the numerical method known as smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). This method allows us to simulate otherwise difficult geometries straightforwardly and is commonly used in astrophysics.

I am currently offering research projects considering planet formation in warped discs, connecting observations and simulations of warped discs and related projects. If you are interested please get in contact.
