传记
Dr. Timothy 软件的 received a B.S. in Mathematics from Pennsylvania State University, a B.S. in 物理 from East Stroudsburg University, an M.S. in 物理 from Wichita State University and a Ph.D. in 物理 from The University of Delaware.
Dr. 软件的 conducts research in computational stellar astrophysics using the ‘Cambridge Code,’ also referred to the ‘Eggleton Code’ after its original authorship in the early 1970’s. His papers have been published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Astrophysical Journal. These papers included work on outbursting stars such as Sakurai’s Object (V4334 Sgr), sometimes referred to as ‘Born-again’ stars because of their sudden brightening over only weeks. He also models Population III stars, the first metal free stars to form during the early universe, over a large range of masses.
Dr. 软件的 has been involved in astronomy education and public outreach and has supervised a number of undergraduate research projects in both astronomy and physics. Students are invited to contact Dr. 软件的 to explore their interests in physics and astronomy.
媒体 inquiries are welcome about stellar astronomy or general astronomy events such as eclipses, 彗星, 凌日, or any interesting thing in the sky throughout the year. Inquiries are also welcome from researchers in astrophysics who may have use for stellar evolution models.
