Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Paul Barklem. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Astrophysicist working on stellar atmospheres and supernova kilonova ejecta focuses on understanding the environments of stars, their chemical element evolution, and the history of the Milky Way. His daily work involves theoretical calculations of atomic and molecular processes, particularly collision processes, that are rigorously tested against experimental data, typically from DESIREE. He teaches Classical Mechanics for Engineers, Theoretical Astrophysics, and Astrochemistry. Born in Melbourne, Australia and raised in Brisbane, Paul studied physics at the University of Queensland before beginning his career at Uppsala University. His research emphasizes stellar spectroscopy, specifically related atomic processes, and their applications to understand star formation, the Milky Way, and the evolution of elements.
