The Group

The Computational Astrophysics group started in January 2021. We use various computational methods from hydrodynamics, radiative transfer, N-body simulations till machine learning to address astrophysical questions. Our research spans from planet- and moon-formation till black hole mergers through accretion disks at different scales.

We are funded by an external page ERC Starting Grant (PI: Prof. Szulagyi), by ETH Zurich, and by the external page Swiss National Science Foundation. For high performance computing we use the external page Swiss National Supercomputing Centre. We are Associated Members of external page NCCR PlanetS, where Prof. Szulagyi is the project leader of "The role of circumplanetary disks in planet-and moon-formation" in Domain 1 "Early stages of planet formation". We are member of the ETH AI Center and member of external page Computational Science Zurich.
