Research:

Alice is an observational astronomer whose research includes studies of active galactic nuclei, the dynamics of stars and gas in galaxies and the dynamics of planetesimals and gas in protostellar disks. Alice also also been working on understanding planet/disk dynamical interactions to predict the properties of planets and other bodies that reside in circumstellar disks. Alice Quillen's prediction of a planet in the Fomalhaut system has been confirmed with the recent discovery of a planet in this system. This planet is the first to have been accurately predicted from its interaction with the circumstellar disk. For a recent talk (Mar 2009 @ LLE): Pinpointing planets in circumstellar disks (ppt)
