Project description:
Both numerical (theoretical) and observational projects are available, including:
- hydrodynamical simulations of thermonuclear supernova explosions performed on high-performance computers
- calculations of nucleosynthesis products with nuclear reaction networks
- observations of the optical emission of supernova remnants with integral field spectrographs on some of the world's biggest and most advanced telescopes
Desired background:
A BSc in astronomy, astrophysics, physics, or related preferred. A Masters degree (by research) or research experience is an asset. The successful applicant would need to meet the Australian Government H1E standards and UNSW entry standards.
