About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar working in computational nuclear astrophysics in the Astronomy and Astrophysics department of the California Institute of Technology.

 

Main developer of the open-source SROEOS code that computes finite temperature equations of state (EOSs) of dense matter to be used in numerical simulations of astrophysical phenomena. The code is available at stellarcollapse.org/SROEOS. My present work focuses on determining how uncertainties in the EOS of nuclear matter affects neutron stars and supernovae.

 

I also work with molecular dynamics simulations to study nuclear pasta, an elusive type of liquid crystal thought to exist at the crust-core boundary of neutron stars, and the dense ion plasmas in the core of white dwarf stars and the crust of neutron stars.
