JILA A907
I am interested in the dynamics of particles in orbit around compact objects. I work with Dr. Ann-Marie Madigan on N-body dynamics in various astrophysical contexts, including stars around supermassive black holes and planetesimals around white dwarfs. Specifically, I study the formation, evolution, and tidal disruption event rates of eccentric disks when the central object receives a recoil kick.
