Anthony Arnold
(PhD Candidate, The University of Queensland)
Change in space happens very slowly. To understand our present, sometimes we need to simulate the evolution of interesting objects. Anthony will give you a glimpse back in time in this presentation where astrophysics meets supercomputers.
Anthony is a software specialist for a global aerospace research company, and is in the final year of his PhD in computational astrophysics.
