Dr. Erik Mohrmann studied psychology and physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. He then moved to Seattle and earned his doctorate in physics at the University of Washington. He thoroughly enjoyed teaching at both institutions and has continued his teaching career at 十大娱乐平台排行榜 Institute of Technology.

Mohrmann的学术兴趣包括学习模型, 行为的生物学基础, 核天体物理学, 以及计算物理模拟, 他的研究主要集中在后两个领域. His current research interests include stellar nuclear reactions and the modeling of deformable bodies.

莫赫曼教授认为，让话题切题至关重要, 可理解的, 对每个特定的观众来说都很有趣, 因为物理学家, 工程师, 艺术家们都从不同的角度来处理主题. His research helps him relate classroom physics to the world we all experience every day, and provides guidance to undergraduates and graduates who are researching topics in simulation.

Anand Thirumalai earned his bachelor’s degree in materials engineering from the 印度n Institute of Technology (IIT) in Roorkee, 印度. He then went on to earn a master’s degree in materials engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC). For his master’s thesis he worked on designing and characterizing new-generation turbine blade materials, 由镍基高温合金制成.

在获得硕士学位后, he switched fields completely to follow his passion and scientific curiosity — astrophysics. 在英属哥伦比亚大学攻读第二个硕士学位, 这次是天体物理学, he worked on studying the strongest magnetic fields in the known universe — those found in neutron stars — and computing the structure of atoms in such field strengths.

后来，他的博士.D. 沃克研究了恒星演化的最后阶段. He developed a novel stellar wind model combining magnetohydrodynamics with particulate dust-dynamics and stellar rotation. His wind model is applicable to a range of stellar masses and stellar sub-types and presents a route for solving the so-called missing mass-loss mechanism problem in certain types of evolved stars.

在加入十大娱乐平台排行榜之前，Dr. Thirumalai was also a School of Earth and Space Exploration Postdoctoral Fellow at Arizona State University. His research there involved studying winds of evolved stars as well as research in computational atomic structure. He has developed some of the fastest and most accurate atomic structure software for atoms in strong magnetic fields. He continues this research work in collaboration with researchers at UBC in Vancouver, 以及挪威奥斯陆大学的研究人员. His research these days focuses on making headway in the almost completely uncharted field of atomic and molecular structure in strong magnetic fields, 以及恒星和行星形成的模拟. A large part of his current research focus involves harnessing the immense computing power of GPUs in astrophysical simulations.

Dr. Thirumalai teaches at all levels of the physics curriculum at 十大娱乐平台排行榜 and believes in promoting diversity and inclusivity in the classroom, placing an emphasis on both teamwork as well as an interdisciplinary approach for solving modern problems using modern methods of solution.
