Biography

Thomas Jannaud is a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge, UK. His research background is in theoretical and numerical astrophysics, and he has focused on various topics within astrophysical fluid dynamics. His current work involves studying protoplanetary disks, particularly the mechanisms of accretion and wind launching in the inner regions of these disks. He is also exploring the impact of dust and the role of the Hall effect in magnetic flux transport. Jannaud completed his PhD while researching the collimation properties of astrophysical jets and how their asymptotic shape relates to their launching conditions. He has published work on numerical convergence in MRI simulations, contributing to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
