Adam Frank
Adam Frank (born 1 August 1962 in New York) is a United States physicist, astronomer, and writer. His research focuses on computational astrophysics with an emphasis on star formation and late stages of stellar evolution. His popular writing has focused on issues of science it its cultural context, including issues of science and religion and the role of technology in the human experience of time. He is a co-founder of NPR's 13.7 Cosmos and Culture Blog.〔(13.7: Cosmos And Culture )〕
==Biography==
Frank was born in Belleville, New Jersey, on August 1, 1962. He attended the University of Colorado for his undergraduate work and received his PhD from the University of Washington. He held post-doctoral positions at Leiden University in the Netherlands and the University of Minnesota. In 1995, Frank was awarded the Hubble Fellowship. In 1996, he joined the faculty of the University of Rochester, where he is currently a professor of astrophysics.
Frank's research focus is astrophysical fluid dynamics. His research group developed the AstroBEAR Adaptive Mesh Refinement code used for simulating magneto fluid dynamics flows in astrophysical contexts.〔(Simulating Magnetohydrodynamical Flow with Constrained Transport and Adaptive Mesh Refinement: Algorithms and Tests of the AstroBEAR Code )〕 Projects using AstroBEAR include the study of jets from protostars as well the evolution of planetary nebula at the end of a solar-type star's life.
