Research Interests

I am mainly into computational astrophyics, more specifically statistical and N-body simulations of planet-formation related topics.
My current 2 main research interests being:

  • models of circumstellar debris discs
    • Section still under construction, in the meantime you can have a look at a 2008 presentation on Debris disc modelling presentation in the "Lectures and Seminars" page
    You can also take read these brief notices from when my work made the 'news' of the Stockholm Observatory website:

       - Dust rings around stars - traces from planets?

       - What is going on in debris disks?

       - Violent collisions in circumstellar disks (main author: A. Grigorieva)


  • Planet formation in binary stars
    • Section still under construction, in the meantime you can have a look at my recent Planet Formation in Binary Stars presentation in the "Lectures and Seminars" page
