Abstract

The speaker will briefly overview some critical issues in computational astrophysics and how are we solving them. We will discuss the most commonly utilized methodologies and their applications in solving several contemporary astrophysical problems, including exoplanet atmospheres, planet formation, interstellar or intergalactic media, etc. Our efforts in these realms will also be introduced, including some recent thoughts and progress about heterogeneous computing and "AI in science."
