Ph.D

蘇冠銘 (Guna-Ming Su)

• Position: Ph.D
• Intro:
  
  Hello, I am Guan-Ming Su. I was originally working on experimental condensed matter physics during my master and first two years Ph.D, but later found simulation and programming so interesting that I decided to switch to the current field. Now I am in the learning phase of cosmology simulation, especially about the large scale structure, and hope to catch on this cutting edge science with tons of unsolved problems leaving us to explore :)

許藝薰 (Yi-Hsiung Hsu, a.k.a Arthur Hsu)

• Position: Master
• Intro:
  
  I earned Bachelor of Science, department of physics at National Taiwan University at 2018. I'm now pursuing Master degree at National Taiwan University. My project is analyzing linear perturbations in universe of multi-component ultralight axion. We apply different approximations to alleviate the required time of calculating stiff evolution equations. These calculations are further promoted to multi-component universe.

林俊佑 (Chun-Yu Lin)

• Position: Master
• Intro:
  
  B.Sc. in Physics, National Taiwan University (2014~2018) Chau-Ting Chang Summer Research Scholarship (2015) Research purpose: The feature of a wave dark matter soliton does not shown in the rotation curves of low surface brightness galaxies. The random motion of the soliton and the high velocity dispersion near the galactic center may slow down the rotation speed and erase the feature of the soliton. To prove this statement, the mock observations of GAMER simulations of galactic disks inside a wave dark matter halos are compared to the observations.

華奕豪 (Yi-Hao Hua)

• Position: Master
• Intro:
  
  I was joining this lab at November 8th,2019 and my topic is soliton random walk in psidm simulation based on the paper 'Soliton Random Walk and the Cluster-Stripping Problem in Ultralight Dark Matter' by professor Hsi-Yu Schive, Tzihong Chiueh, and Tom Broadhurst. The object about this topic is finding out why will soliton random walk in the simulation? Did it affect by gluon or halo potential or something else? In advance , if we assure that the soliton random walk can be reproduce by local domain, we can even produce the simulation of Milky Way soliton random walk regardless of the extensive and massive loading on simulating the whole Milky Way. My job here is simulating different kind of halo and analyzing their soliton random walk to discover what behind them. It is a pleasure to learn in this lab and professor's teaching. This is a fascinating subject to work on.

吳文華 (Wen-Hua Wu)

• Position: Master
• Intro:
  
  I am an undergraduate student in department of physics of NTU. My research topic is dark matter and astrophysical simulation. I am in the working group of GAMER, a GPU-accelerated adaptive mesh refinement code used in astrophysical simulation. In it, I completed a program of building the initial conditions (ICs) of particles in N-body simulations, which can be used to initialize physical parameters in certain astrophysical scenarios such as Fornax dwarf galaxy. My current research topic is Fornax cusp-core and timing problem. I plan to focus on research in wave dark matter simulation.
