This page collects research notes and project summaries.

Current research direction

My current work is focused on cosmology and magnetohydrodynamics, especially the evolution of primordial magnetic fields and their possible observational signatures in CMB spectral distortions.

Topics

Primordial magnetic fields

Evolution, decay, helicity, inverse transfer, and damping of magnetic fields in the early Universe.

CMB spectral distortions

Energy injection in the early Universe and its connection to μ-type and y-type distortions.

Magnetohydrodynamics

MHD turbulence, viscous damping, photon drag, and the transition between different damping regimes.

Numerical simulations

Implementation notes, numerical tests, and simulation strategy, especially with the Pencil Code.
