Is an assistant professor at the U of T whose fields of study include: The origins of the stellar initial mass function, The kinematics of star-forming molecular cloud cores and their environments. in particular, examining their sources of support (ex. rotation and turbulence), and bulk motions linked to their evolutionary states (ex. infall and outflows), The search for and classification of young, high-mass protostellar and pre-protostellar objects, The development of an evolutionary sequence for high-mass pre-protostellar objects. I asked him as many questions about space related stuff as I could. If you enjoyed Cosmos, you're gonna love this interview.
