Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Dr. Laura Fissel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy at the University of Toronto. She obtained her PhD from the University of Toronto in 2013. Her research focuses on understanding how stars and planets form out of interstellar gas.  I am particularly interested in studying whether the magnetic fields that thread through star-forming regions significantly slow down or halt the gravitational collapse of dense gas.
