Background
About
About
I'm a fifth year PhD Candidate in Astrophysics and Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering at Michigan State University and Los Alamos National Laboratory. I develop and use multiphysics simulations to study core-collapse supernovae and related phenomena. Apart from understanding these explosions, I am an avid proponent of open source scientific software. I am a developer of multiple open source simulation codes for relativistic astrophysics and reviewer for the Journal of Open Source Software.
