Education and early career
[edit]Krumholz obtained his undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 1997. He then pursued his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, which he completed in 2004 under the supervision of Christopher F. McKee.[3]
Research contributions
[edit]Krumholz’s research has significantly advanced the understanding of the physical processes governing star formation.[peacock prose]
One of Krumholz’s major contributions is his work on the mass distribution of stars, known as the initial mass function, and the role of turbulence and magnetic fields in star formation.[full citation needed]
Krumholz is also known for his development of computational tools that have become widely used in the astrophysics community.[peacock prose]
