Research Interests: 

Radiative transfer; radiation hydrodynamics; spectral line diagnostics

Research: 

• Theory Topics: highly supersonic stellar winds accelerated by photon pressure; radiation transport in stellar atmospheres and disks; how massive stars lose mass prior to a supernova
• Simulation Topics: colliding winds in hot-star binaries, radiation transport in outflows from stars
• Students may participate in international collaboration in stellar research
• Students' experience in writing dynamic numerical simulations prepares them for positions either as academic postdocs or as software specialists in industry
