James Stone

I am a Professor in Astrophysics at The Institute for Advanced Study. Part of my work involves development of novel numerical algorithms for astrophysical fluid dynamics that have been adopted for a wide range of applications. Most of my research is focused on understanding nonlinear fluid dynamics in a variety of astrophysical systems, such as supersonic turbulence in the interstellar medium, accretion flows onto black holes, and the formation and migration of planets in disks around newly-formed stars.  I have contributed to the development of several widely used astrophysical codes for these problems.
