Research Fields:

• Solar System Astronomy & Astrophysics
• Computational Astrophysics

I am interested in the computational modeling of basic astrophysical processes like the generation of magnetic fields, the transport of angular momentum in accretion discs, or the transport of energy by turbulent convection.
