About Me

My pronouns are he/him.

I am a postdoctoral research associate working with the TARDIS group at Michigan State University.

I am also a US Research Software Sustainability Institute Fellow.

In my academic research, I currently work on developing and improving methods for Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer (MCRT) to do research in exoplanet atmospheres, supernovae, and stars undergoing common-envelope evolution.

About This Webpage

This site is compiled from a collection of Markdown files which are rendered to HTML using Pandoc. The formatting is handled with this CSS file and this HTML5 template, which are based on the Tufte CSS stylesheet. The Pandoc command used to compile an individual HTML file is

pandoc --katex --from markdown+tex_math_single_backslash --lua-filter './stylesheets/pandoc-sidenote.lua' \
--to html5+smart --template='./stylesheets/tufte.html5' --css './stylesheets/tufte.css' \
-o [FILENAME].html 'Connor McClellan Astronomy.md' [FILENAME].md

which is what the recipe in the Makefile does — make will run this command for each of the pages and make clean will delete the resulting .html files.

The file 'Connor McClellan Astronomy.md' contains the site index, which is prepended to each HTML file and inserts links to other pages in the margins.
