Federrath - Research Projects
To get a sense of the work we do in our group, have a look at some of our visualisations that accompany our research papers.
Below is a list of potential research project ideas. Most of them are adjustable to all levels (Undergrad/Honours/Masters/PhD/Postdoc), and most of them are collaborative projects within the group and/or involving national and/or international collaboration partners. If you are interested in joining our group please contact christoph.federrath@anu.edu.au.
- "The formation and evolution of protostellar discs"
- "Sub-resolution models for star formation in galaxy simulations"
- "Magnetic-field amplification and turbulence in radiation-driven shocks"
- "Kinetic and magnetic energy dissipation in MHD turbulence"
- "The formation of the first stars in the Universe"
- "Massive star formation via strong magnetic fields"
- "Cosmic-ray transport and diffusion in the interstellar medium" (with Amit Seta)
- "Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics and chemistry in the interstellar medium" (with Aris Tritsis)
