Drummond Fielding

Drummond Fielding is an Assistant Professor of Physics at New York University, affiliated with the Department of PHY. His research focuses on astrophysics and cosmology, particularly within the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics. Fielding's work explores galaxy formation, fluid dynamics, and plasma physics, with an emphasis on understanding the physical processes governing gas behavior in and around galaxies. He utilizes numerical simulations, analytic modeling, and interdisciplinary approaches to study galactic feedback, multiphase gas dynamics, and the role of supernovae in driving outflows. Fielding also investigates magnetized turbulent cascades, cosmic-ray transport, and mesoscale turbulence in oceans using machine learning. His research spans theoretical astrophysics, cosmology, and computational methods.

Drummond B. Fielding is a Drummond B. Fielding Professor of Physics at New York University, specializing in Theoretical Astrophysics. His research focuses on understanding the complex dynamics of galactic and circumgalactic media, including the role of multiphase gas, star formation feedback, and supernova-driven outflows. Fielding's work explores how turbulent processes and cosmic rays influence the structure and evolution of galaxies, with applications to star formation, feedback mechanisms, and the interplay between different phases of gas. His studies often utilize cosmological simulations and machine learning techniques to analyze large-scale astrophysical phenomena.
