Research Areas:

I’m interested in exploring the wonders of the universe and all the insights it can offer us. I study star formation, but more specifically, I focus on the disks of gas and dust formed around new stars, known as protostellar disks. My research is focused on taking high-sensitivity multi-wavelength ALMA observations of protostellar disks and fitting them with radiative transfer models. We’re looking to constrain the physical characteristics of a sample of disks with annular substructure in the form of rings and gaps. Outside of research, I’m involved with the Queen’s Graduate Physics Society, helping to organize fun social events, and representing its members in Queen’s Society for Graduate and Professional Students. You can often find me having endless fun with friends playing all the great board games and weight training at the gym.

Hi! I’m curious about the world and keen to have fun describing it and being in it. I’m studying the earliest stages of disk evolution and structure in embedded protostellar disks. I use models to describe the protostellar disk structure for a series of ALMA-observed targets in the Ophiuchus star-forming region. We’re attempting to constrain the earliest stages of disk evolution and their possible implications for planet formation. Beyond my research, I like being outside whether it’s -20 C or +30 C to ski, climb, or surf. I’m also invested in making our department at Queen’s and the world at large a better place. I run the Gender Minorities in Physics Mentorship Program and represent the physics graduate students on committees and the CASCA GSC.

Welcome!

Star and planet formation is an exciting and growing research field. Prof Sarah Sadavoy and her research team uses telescope observations to study:

the physics of giant star-forming regions
how young stars obtain their mass
the formation and evolution of planet-forming disks
the growth of tiny grains of dust into full-sized planets
