About

Richard Townsend is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. His research focuses on asteroseismology, stellar evolution, and the dynamics of celestial bodies, as evidenced by his recent articles on topics such as stellar oscillation codes, the coevolution of planets and their stars, and the modeling of convective penetration in stellar structures. He is also involved in developing resources for astronomy education, including the MESA-Web platform.
