About me

edit

Mikhail Klassen /ˈm.kl ˈklɑːsən/. I am a graduate student in astrophysics, studying star formation. My undergraduate studies in applied physics were completed at Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science with a research emphasis in magnetically-confined plasmas for nuclear fusion. My current research involves doing numerical simulation of star formation, understanding how different physical mechanisms affect the star formation process and the types of stars that result. A major goal is understanding the physical underpinnings of the the initial mass function. Simulations are carried out on the supercomputers of the SHARCNET consortium.
