Ongoing Research Projects and Interests

• GASOLINE: development of a new parallel SPH hydrodynamics code for cosmological structure formation simulations including gas dynamics, gravity, and radiative cooling.
• Solar system chaos and stability: integration of the planetary orbits over a span of 10 billion years, including the effects of general relativity.
• Solar system formation: direct simulation of planetesimal dynamics.
• Large scale structure formation: dynamics of cluster formation, artificial galaxy catalogs.
• Using planetary nebulae as tracers of intercluster stars and dynamics of clusters.
