Iām currently working on algorithms for modeling reactive astrophysics flows, applying these to studies of X-ray bursts, Type Ia supernovae, stellar convection, and novae.
-
My main work is on the suite of AMReX-Astrophysics codes: Castro (for compressible flows) and MAESTROeX (for low Mach number stratified flows). These are designed to run on supercomputers (using CPUs or GPUs) and model reacting astrophysical flows.
-
I also build the pynucastro library: a library for exploring nuclear reaction rates.
-
I am also very interested in making teaching resources (especially for computational astrophysics) freely available, including:
-
My open text Introduction to Computational Astrophysical Hydrodynamics introduces the core finite-volume methods used in astrophysics simulation codes.
-
The teaching and protyping code pyro.
-
My introductory astronomy animations.
