Research

We are interested in various aspects of computational astrophysics, using various methods applied to diverse astrophysical phenomena. We combine techniques of 3D radiative (or thermo-) hydrodynamical simulations including gas+dust treatment, Monte Carlo population synthesis, N-body simulations, radiative transfer, chemistry-solvers. Our computer simulations are used to tackle questions around astrophysical disks, whether those are around stars, planets or black holes. Our research is trying to answer questions on how planets and moons are forming in the Solar System and elsewhere, how accretion disks evolve, what are the characteristics of black hole disks and how black-hole mergers happen. Apart from theory, we also create mock observations from our simulations to help interpreting real telescope data of these phenomena.
