Jonathan Dursi's profile
I'm male and 35
What I do
I’m interested in computational astrophysics broadly — understanding complex astrophysical systems through large-scale parallel multiphysics simulations; carefully examining microphysics both for its own sake and so that it can be included quantitatively in larger-scale models; and developing and analyzing computational techniques for use in astrophysical simulations.
The astrophysical systems I currently study are: the physics of Type Ia supernovae, which are interesting in themselves and very important for quantitative cosmology; bubbles in galaxy clusters; and fragmentation and wind-interactions in disks. I have also recently worked on the physics of mixing and enrichment in novae, detonations, galaxy formation, and efficient and accurate numerical techniques for studying these phenomenon.
