About Anna
I am a ITC Post-doctoral Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Astronomy from UC Berkeley and my Ph.D. in Astrophysics from UC Santa Cruz. My research interests are in theoretical and computational astrophysics with an emphasis on star formation. I use numerical simulations to study the formation of massive stars and massive star clusters. I am particularly interested in how stellar feedback – the injection of energy and momentum by young stars – shapes the interstellar medium and galaxies.
