My current research is in the areas of Star Formation,
Gamma Ray Bursts, and Extrasolar Planets. I work on most aspects of
star formation, including star-disk interaction, generation of
outflows, protostellar disk formation, the formation of dense cores,
and the formation of binaries, multiple systems, and stellar
clusters. With Roger Chevalier, I study the interaction of GRB
ejecta with ambient medium, aiming at constraining the progenitors
of such objects. With Phil Arras, I investigate the upper atmospheres
of hot Jupiters, focusing on potential effects of magnetic fields.
