Research Interests

My research interests range from General Relativity to physics of the interstellar medium to cosmology. Right now, for most of the time I work on numerical cosmological simulations, including (but not limited to) simulating galaxy formation, formation of supermassive black holes, and evolution of the intergalactic medium. I like doing numerics and working with a computer. This often includes quite sophisticated visualization of the simulation results, so, I guess, I am a little bit a movie director as well. Isn't it great to direct a movie where galaxies and stars are the actors?! And, of course, do not forget to check out my gallery!

If you wish, you can look at the list of my recent papers.

I also have well-documented free software for common math problems. It has no copyright of any kind, so feel free to do with it whatever you want.

IFRIT is a free open source 3D interactive visualization tool written in C++ (there is also an earlier IDL incarnation). It is comparable to commercial products, although it uses a different philosophy.

Here is my Cosmological Calculator that you can use to get a few numbers about the flat universe.
