F.X.Timmes, my vitae
Below are some examples of past and current research which has or presently involve graduate students. All these new projects may use analytical, 1d, 2d, and 3d techniques. They all have significant room for developing Ph.D. theses by talented graduate students at Arizona State University. In addition to the links below, prospective students might want to peruse the links given on the menu to the left.
