Visitor: Shing Chi Leung
From August 7 to 9, 2017, the PSO group hosted Shing Chi Leung, post-doc at the Kavli Institute for the Mathematics and Physics of the Universe at the University of Tokyo. Shing Chi works on multi-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations to model stellar explosions. During his visit, he collaborated with several PSO members on models for Type Ia supernovae.
About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
