Dr. Justin Bankert’s research is focused on creating and analyzing computer simulations of the effects of circumbinary accretion disks on the evolution of the orbital characteristics of the central binary. He started his teaching career as a visiting assistant professor at Angelo State University. He then worked as an assistant professor at Troy University. Family concerns brought him back to the Midwest where he worked as an adjunct professor at Oakton College. Dr. Bankert is excited to join the Augustana community as a visiting assistant professor.
