Circumstellar Disks


Circumstellar disks are ubiquitous throughout all stages of stellar evolution for all masses of stars: they guide the accretion of matter in star formation, serve as the birthplace of planets and may influence the subsequent migration of these bodies, and shape stellar outflows in later stages of stellar evolution. I use multi-wavelength observational techniques, using ground- and space-based facilities, to investigate the structure, evolution, and origin of circumstellar disks.
