Biography

Romain Teyssier is a Professor in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences and Applied Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. His research focuses on cosmology, galaxy formation, and star formation, where he is recognized as an expert in these fields. He is the main author of the RAMSES code, which is a massively parallel Adaptive Mesh Refinement code designed for self-gravitating, magnetized, and radiative flows. Professor Teyssier performs simulations of cosmic structures using supercomputers to understand the origins of astrophysical objects, including stars, such as the Sun, and galaxies, like the Milky Way. His modeling efforts also involve the evolution of the entire Universe, particularly in the context of the Euclid and LSST projects.
