In Memoriam: Dr. Frithjof Brauer
We are profoundly sad that our team member, former PhD student,
Reimar Luest Fellow and most importantly: dear friend, Frithjof
Brauer, is no longer among us. He fought a courageous battle against
cancer but ultimately lost. He passed away end of September 2009
at the age of 29. We miss his warm character, his enthusiasm for
science, and his extraordinary talent, both in science and in
music.
The team
Cornelis 'Kees' Dullemond (Group leader)
 |
Research:
Disk structure and evolution models, aggregation and thermal modification
of solids in the disk, link to observations. Leader of the group.

Tilman Birnstiel (Postdoc)
 |
Research:
Works on improved models for the formation, evolution and structure
of protoplanetary disks in which the dust physics calculated by this
team is implemented. The effects of the disk evolution on the dust
growth/fragmentation/drift is investigated using a new and powerful
scheme for implicit integration of the coagulation+transport equation.
Comparison with observations is his current occupation.

Zolt Sandor (Postdoc)
 |
Research:
Works on N-body simulations of the late stages of rocky planet formation
in gas-rich protoplanetary disks. Also works together with Z. Regaly
on models of eccentric disks.

|
Research:
From boulders to planetary cores: study how to link models of dust
growth to models of planet formation by bridging the intermediate size
regime with a combination of Monte Carlo and N-body simulations.

Previous members
Andras Zsom (former PhD Student, now postdoc with T. Henning)
 |
Research:
Worked on a new algorithm for computing particle aggregation, and
collaborated within the Forschergruppe Formation of Planets
to gain laboratory data of collisions between aggregates.
