Exploring Gaia DR3 with Firefly
I designed a massively parallel algorithm and progressive rendering scheme in order to interactively visualize all 1.5 billion+ stars observed by the Gaia satellite.
FIRE Studio
FIRE studio is a visualization package I created to streamline the process of producing publication-quality images of galaxy formation simulation data.
GPU-accelerated chemistry and numerical integration with WIND
WIND is a CUDA library I built to numerically integrate stiff systems of coupled ODEs-- in particular interstellar chemical abundance networks.
A statistical approach to studying stellar feedback
As part of a class project I built a statistical model to understand and simplify our the results of our supercomputer simulation and apply them in other contexts at less (computational) cost.
What is stellar feedback and why should we care?
Everyone knows about the sun, fewer people know where it came from and how other stars might've influenced its formation. [pictured: M104, the Sombrero Galaxy (p.c. NASA/HST)]
