Greetings. I am a Monash Research Fellow in Astrophysics at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Prior to this I was a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Astrophysics group of the School of Physics at the University of Exeter (before which I also held a PPARC/STFC Postdoctoral Research fellowship at Exeter). I completed my PhD at the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge. It all started out with an honours year here at Monash. You should find some links in the sidebar to whatever it was that caused you to wander here in the first place. My research interests are broadly in Computational Astrophysics - see my research page, though generally involving Magnetohydrodynamics, Star Formation and the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. (In poetic form).

Recent Publications

New paper! "Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics IV - Using the Vector Potential", accepted to MNRAS.

"Inefficient star formation: The combined effect of magnetic fields and radiative feedback", published in MNRAS. See the movies.

Recent preprint: I have been involved in two comparison projects on supersonic turbulence recently using my PHANTOM SPH code - the paper on the first one of these:
Kitsonias et al., "Algorithmic comparisons of decaying, isothermal, compressible turbulence" has been submitted to A & A.

Recent preprint: "Modelling discontinuities and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in SPH" (published in J. Comp. Phys) (click for movies too).
