Forschungsgebiete
I am interested in how stars form in low metallicity extreme environments similar to what we believe the earliest galaxies would have been like. How does the growth of a primordial magnetic field affect this early star formation and in what environs do these stars form when there is little molecular hydrogen are the questions I am interested in answering.
