Introduce yourself!

[Yurlungur]

As the project grows, we'd love to see how you reached us and why you're interested in Parthenon.

[Yurlungur]

I can start. I'm a computational astrophysicist, studying problems requiring general relativity such as core collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. I use parthenon as the base for the open-source code Phoebus, which I'm building up to be capable of modeling these kinds of systems.

[pgrete]

I'm a computational scientist working interdisciplinary between physics, e.g., (astrophysical) plasma modeling including magnetohydrodynamic processes such as turbulence and their role in (astro)physical systems, and computer science, e.g., parallelization and high performance computing, as well as on topics in between such as computational fluid dynamics.
I am one of the authors of K-Athena, a Kokkos version of Athena++ that can now be seen as a proof of concept code focusing on uniform grids and an ancestor of Parthenon.
I'm also developing AthenaPK, which is our magnetohydrodynamics downstream code on top of Parthenon used e.g., for simulations of turbulence, cloud crushing, and feedback from active galactic nuclei.

[BenWibking]

I'm a computational astrophysicist working in @pgrete's former group :)
I am currently working on multiphase turbulence in galaxy clusters and in the circumgalactic medium of Milky Way-sized galaxies with AthenaPK. I am also the creator of Quokka, a patch-based hydrodynamics code that uses a different AMR library.

[tbhaxor]

I am computer science engineer. Astrophysics field always fascinated me, so now I am trying really hard to transition into the field. Computational physics field is great because it consists of computer science and physics.

Oh, I missed one thing: I also blog at https://tbhaxor.com, currently it contains infosec related stuff, but I am planning to include more stuff like Machine Learning in astronomy, General physics and mathematics stuff (in the way I learnt, prgrammatically).

[bprather]

I'm a computational astrophysicist, currently a postdoc at LANL. I'm interested in black hole accretion problems and in making use of the Event Horizon Telescope results, but also the guts of GRMHD codes and algorithms, and extensions that might make GRMHD faster and more useful. I was the initial developer and currently maintain the downstream code KHARMA.

[lroberts36]

I'm a staff scientist at LANL and my background is in nuclear and computational astrophysics. I am particularly interested in phenomena related to core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers and nucleosynthesis in those environments.

I am the maintainer of the FreeBSD port science/parthenon.
It makes it easy for FreeBSD users to install Parthenon.

I just noticed this issue is not pinned, which probably makes it hard to find. Now pinned.

This is very cool. I had no idea parthenon was in a package manager now (other than spack. :) )
