Research interests |
My research centres on star formation. In particular, how stars move and interact in their first few million years (and the potential impact on planet formation), and how we can compare observations to theory/simulations. At Sheffield I work with Claire Esau (Postdoc) and Dan Griffiths, Rebecca Arnold, and Suraiya Atker (PhD students). |
