Prof. Keller’s Community of Research Scholars (CoRS) Grant “Exploring Synergies in Astrophysical and Engineering Simulations” was funded!
Working with Prof. Lee from the University of Memphis Department of Mechanical Engineering, the MGS group will be working to explore different methods for hydrodynamical simulations used in the astrophysics and engineering fields. Surprisingly, there is a lot of overlap between simulations of galaxies and simulations of wind turbines!
This CoRS grant will provide us with $2500 to help purchase hardware and fund a summer undergraduate researcher to investigate where we can improve simulations in both astrophysics and engineering research by sharing ideas and methods.
