I am interested in simulating the interaction between a neutron star and a disk around a massive B type star. We are trying to do this using SPH simulations based upon the previous work of Atsuo Okazaki.

Research Interests

Physical Systems and Engineering simulation: Astrophysics

Algorithms and computational methods: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Programming languages and libraries: Fortran

Transdisciplinary tags: NGCM, Scientific Computing
