Colin McNally is a postdoc and Marie Curie International Incoming Fellow at the NBIA. Colin is Canadian, having completed an M.Sc. at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) and his Ph.D. at Columbia University and the American Museum of Natural History (New York, USA).

Colin arrived at the NBIA in 2012 in the theoretical astrophysics group, first as a NBIA Fellow before becoming a Marie Curie Fellow in 2013.

Currently, Colin's research centers around the structure of and magnetic energy dissipation mechanisms in protoplanetary accretion disks, with applications in the early history of solar systems. This physics is central to both the formation of extrasolar planets, and long-standing problems in the study of meteorites in our own solar system.
