Special Guest Speaker: Dr. Parshati Patel
Presentation: The Tale of Disks around Massive Stars

Massive stars, young or old, are interesting celestial objects with
fascinating mysteries. In this talk, we will explore some of the mysteries
of the disks around massive stars and how their formation, dissipation and
structure affect our understanding of not only the planet formation but also
the star formation process.

University of Toronto, M.Sc. in Astronomy and Planetary Science from the
Western University and her Ph.D. in Astronomy and Planetary Science &
Exploration from the Western University. During her graduate studies, she
studied protoplanetary disks around young, massive pre-main sequence (Herbig
Ae/Be) stars as well as circumstellar disks around massive main sequence
stars. She is currently the Public Education and Outreach Program
Coordinator at the Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration at the
Western University.
