GRADUATE AND PHD STUDENTS (1997-2009):  

Min  Long  (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) - Numerical Modeling of Accretion to Magnetized Stars . Defended Thesis in 2008.

Akshay Kulkarni  (Cornell University) . Akshay performs global 3D simulations of stable/unstable regimes of accretion.   In the past he investigated observational appearance of the hot spots obtained in 3D simulations taking into account effects of relativity, Doppler and other effects.
