Overview

I am a PhD student in the School of Physics and Astronomy working on simulations of star formation in extreme envrionments. My work includes designing, running and analysing numerical simulations of molecular clouds in high star formation rate environments. This includes trying to understand the theymodynamics of the clouds, their fragmentation behaviour and the stars they eventually form.

A benefit of this kind of work is that we make some lovely images, like the ones below.
