OUR  GRADUATE STUDENTS:

Akshay Kulkarni 
Akshay works on the effects of relativity and light travel time on the variability curves of millisecond period neutron stars. Currently he is performing 3D MHD simulations of disk accretion to such stars, to study "hot spots" on their surface, which cause the variability.

Min Long 
Min works on numerical modeling of disc accretion to a magnetized star in the rotational equilibrium state. He also plans to investigate quasi-periodic oscillations associated with the disk-magnetosphere interaction.

FORMER GRADUATE STUDENTS:

David Rothstein 
David worked on simulations of black hole accretion disks, with a particular interest in reproducing the light curves of X-ray binary systems with time-variable viscosity. He also performed high time resolution IR and X-ray observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105.

Bjoern Schmekel 
Bjoern's main interests are in plasma physics and general relativity. He worked on particle accelerators, basic plasma physics and theoretical astrophysics. Lately he has been working on the emission of coherent synchrotron radiation in bunch compressors and rotating neutron stars.
