Anand's Home Page
Hi.  This is my home page.  It gives some sense of what I've been doing.
When I know what I will be doing in the future, I'll add that.
Research
I am looking at the fluid properties of the solar nebula.  Specifically, I
am looking at the role of vortices in the coagulation of dust, and how this
ties in to the formation of planets.  For more detailed info,
click here.  
I presented a poster at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's Stardust
to Planetesimals conference.  This is being submitted for publication in
the NASA proceedings [dvi (without figures) and ps (with figures)].
 
The current work on my thesis is 
here, with additional work
Part I and
Part III
(MIT only). 
As I'm looking for jobs, here is a page of possible web site with 
positions and info.
I'll be attending the 
Protostars and Planets IV 
conference in July 1998; poster title.
