Numerical methods and code development

My work centres on the scientific software behind galaxy- and cosmological-scale black hole simulations: developing and optimising the hydrodynamical codes and their black-hole modules; the performance optimisation that keeps large runs efficient; the HPC support that helps research groups run, extend and reproduce their simulations; and the scientific visualisation used to interpret the results. I also develop and validate the sub-resolution prescriptions for accretion, spin and feedback testing them in idealised and cosmological environments against observational catalogues and across resolutions.
