Biography

David Radice is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the Eberly College of Science, focusing on the study of extreme astrophysical events, particularly compact binary mergers and core-collapse supernovae. His research aims to design, implement, and analyze large-scale high-performance computing simulations based on general relativity. Through these simulations and a combination of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations, Radice addresses fundamental questions regarding the nature of matter at extreme densities, the origin of heavy elements, and the fate of massive stars. He is particularly interested in the development of new computational techniques to enhance the understanding of the fundamental physical processes operating in such events. Additionally, he is the main author and maintainer of the WhiskyTHC research group, contributing significantly to the field through his publications and research activities.
