My primary research interest involves the computational modeling of cosmological models. A large range of observational techniques, including weak gravitational lensing, X-ray satellites, CMB interferometers and optical galaxy surveys provide a wealth of information about the structure of the universe. The challenge for computational theory lies in simulating the observable quantities from first principles. Our group uses a series of parallel MHD/hydro/N-body codes on parallel machines to achieve precision simulations.

Other interests include early universe cosmology, topological defects, the cosmic microwave background, non-radiative accretion flows and other issues in theoretical astrophysics.
