In general I offer
topics on
numerical
astro(-particle) physics (either development of numerical methods
or application of numerical codes)
Topic 1: Investigation of a semi-Lagrangian solver for cosmic ray acceleration
Implementation of a conservative semi-Lagrangian
solver for the energy-dependence of the cosmic ray
transport equation. Possible application:
acceleration of cosmic rays in colliding wind binary
systems.
Topic 2: Galactic cosmic ray propagation modelling
The
Picard
code developed here in Innsbruck offers unique possibilties for Galactic cosmic ray
propagation studies. Via high-resolution 3D models various aspects of
cosmic ray propagation can be investigated with unprecedented detail in
multiple channels.
These suggestions are just meant as examples. If you
are interested in a topic on numerical modelling of
cosmic-ray transport or astrophysical fluids, please
contact me directly.
