Prospective Students

Currently, I am looking for students to join my research group. Some of the research topics being offered to prospective students are:

Protoplanet accretion: I plan to develop high-resolution, three-dimensional computational models of proto-planet accretion. This project will characterize accretion and the planetary atmosphere through 3D numerical simulations with state-of-the-art numerical tools, including physical and numerical models for radiation hydrodynamics, dust-dynamics, and self-gravity through a hybrid approach, consisting in the combination of the publicly available hydrodynamics codes FARGO3D and AREPO to simulate planets embedded in the disk with improved boundary conditions.


Obliquity dynamics: develop high-resolution, three-dimensional computational models of proto-planet accretion. This project will characterize accretion and the planetary atmosphere through 3D numerical simulations with state-of-the-art numerical tools, including physical and numerical models for radiation hydrodynamics, dust-dynamics, and self-gravity through a hybrid approach, consisting in the combination of the publicly available hydrodynamics codes FARGO3D and AREPO to simulate planets embedded in the disk with improved boundary conditions.


Stellar triples in the Galactic field: develop high-resolution, three-dimensional computational models of proto-planet accretion. This project will characterize accretion and the planetary atmosphere through 3D numerical simulations with state-of-the-art numerical tools, including physical and numerical models for radiation hydrodynamics, dust-dynamics, and self-gravity through a hybrid approach, consisting in the combination of the publicly available hydrodynamics codes FARGO3D and AREPO to simulate planets embedded in the disk with improved boundary conditions.
