Ian Hawke works on gravitational waves and neutron star mergers, focusing on nonlinear numerical simulations. He teaches topics in Applied Mathematics linked to computational, numerical, and modelling problems. His current research revolves around the numerical simulations of dense matter in general relativity, aiming to combine results from these simulations with astrophysical observations, particularly gravitational waves, to provide insights into extreme states of matter and gravity. He employs a variety of multiscale modelling techniques and approximations, alongside the application of modern computing architectures. Ian has been involved in the international Cactus project, undertaking large-scale simulations and is an author and maintainer of the Whisky code for simulating relativistic hydrodynamics. His research interests span aspects of numerical simulations in neutron stars and relativistic multifluids.
