Welcome to my web page, hosted by the
Department
of Physics at the
University of Utah.
Below you will find information related to my research, recent
courses, and other things that I do at the U of U.
Here are some links to web pages that I either maintain or simply like:

Planet formation.
Scott Kenyon and I
have developed a hybrid coagulation/n-body code to model the formation
of icy and rocky planets. Along the way, we explored the possibility
that the Sun had a close encounter with another star. The
effects of this "stellar flyby" may be reflected in the orbits of outer Solar
System bodies such as Sedna.

Gravity waves.
Richard Price
has directed a project on gravity waves from
a pair of inspiraling black holes. We're exploring some
tricks for solving this problem when the inspiral is slow.
