Stanley A. Baronett is a Graduate Assistant under Zhaohuan Zhu in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). With Yan-Fei Jiang (Center for Computational Astrophysics, CCA) and Phil Armitage (Stony Brook University), he uses the non-relativistic radiation transport module for Athena++ to study the effect of multifrequency dust opacities on the thermodynamic structure of protoplanetary disks. With Chao-Chin Yang (University of Alabama), he uses a particle–mesh module for Athena++ to study planetesimal formation and dust–gas dynamics driven by the streaming instability with various pressure gradients. With Jason H. Steffen (UNLV) and Daniel Tamayo (Harvey Mudd College), he contributes to REBOUNDx to study the effects of post-main sequence stellar evolultion and tidal dissipation on planetary dynamics.
