Autor

Fridolin Weber is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at San Diego State University and a Research Scientist at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on nuclear and particle processes in extreme astrophysical systems, such as neutron stars and supernovae. His interests also include quantum many-body theory applied to nuclear and dense quark matter, relativistic astrophysics, quantum gravity, and Einstein's theory of general relativity. He has published five books, co-authored over 250 papers, and given over 300 talks at national and international conferences and physics schools.

Omair Zubairi received his BSc and MSc in Physics from San Diego State University. He obtained his PhD in Computational Science from Claremont Graduate University and San Diego State University where he primarily worked on compact star physics. His other research interests include general relativity, numerical astrophysics and computational methods and techniques. Omair is a dedicated educator in physics and computational science. He has taught students from all backgrounds in many areas of physics from the introductory sequence to upper division courses where he incorporates numerical methods and computational techniques into each course. 'By allowing students to see and apply numerical simulations to various topics covered in lectures, they are able to gain invaluable insight into the problem at hand.
