Stellar distributions for the different star formation efficiencies.

About me
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Helsinki in Finland, working on high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies with a focus on the formation and evolution of stellar clusters, nuclear star clusters and black holes.
The challenge of simulating the star cluster population of dwarf galaxies with resolved interstellar medium
The Griffin Project
Galaxy Realisations Including Feedback From INdividual massive stars. The aim of this project is to perform galaxy scale simulations of individual galaxies and galaxy mergers at such high resolution and physical fidelity that individual massive stars can be realised and important feedback processes such as supernova explosions an be reliably included to study the formation of a realistic non-equilibrium multi-phase interstellar medium.
Astrobites
Astrobites is a daily astrophysical literature journal written by graduate students in astronomy since 2010. Our goal is to present one interesting paper per day in a brief format that is accessible to undergraduate students in the physical sciences who are interested in active research.
Resources
Here I include a page of resources on the topics of Mental Health, Gender Identity, Gendered Discrimination, Racial and socio-economic discrimination
